On a reload nginx should write appropriate alerts to error log, saying something like "open socket #<fd> left in connection <n>". These alerts are logged in appropriate connection numbers, and details of a particular connection can be traced through debug log. It might not be trivial to debug such socket leaks though, and before doing anything else it is in general a good idea to: - make sure you are using latest nginx version, and - the problem is not in a 3rd party module (that is, you can reproduce it without 3rd party modules). -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
