Обсуждение: How to delete unclosed connections?
Hi All, I've a problem with unclosed connections. Once a client aborts a connection accidentelly (client crash or power failure eg.), it stucks in and postgres won't restart or stop. Is there any way to close unused (dead) connections. I'd guess that some kind of connection timeout option should do this. Aren't I right? Tank you in advance.

Oh? pg_ctl -m f stop or pg_ctl -m i stop doesn't work?

Find the pid and kill -2 will work.

It will, once the TCP/IP timeout happens. That's about 2 hours on
many systems.

I see, it sholud be waited for... Thank you very much Anderw! Best Regrds, -- Együd Csaba --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Postgresql survives this kind of thing quite well, with no data corruption, trust me, I've tested that part thourougly lately.

To tell the truth I've never faced serious problems in connection with killing postgres. But as far as I'm concerned I could never exclude this possibility. If I can solve my problem in a regular way I choose that way, but I won't hesitate killing postgres when the time comes... On the other hand my applications are strong enough to avoid serious problems. The most important thing is the health of the backend. But as you mentioned it is not a question anymore.
