RE: All Ports in Use when they are not

["Belvadi, Melissa" <mbelvadi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We also had this problem after Release 2002 Phase 2 was installed. It would happen whenever we maxed out our ports - from that point on, closing connections would not free up the corresponding ports. It was definitely a bug on III's side. Being part of the MOBIUS consortium, I talked to our MOBIUS tech support who in turn talked to III, and III did something (I don't know if it was a patch or what) that seems to have fixed it.

The immediate resolution was to go into telnet to free the unfreed ports by hand (checking PIDs for existing real sessions) - you obviously can only do this if you have one or more other ports on your system that aren't part of the pool that got blocked up. In our consortial/MOBIUS situation, that was possible for us to do until III really fixed the problem.

Subject: All Ports in Use when they are not


We have had this problem twice this week.  Before this it has been
intermittent but fairly regular.

We have 15 staff licenses.  Every so often we are told that All Ports in
Use.  We diligently go around checking everyone's computers (we are a stand
alone, relatively small library) and we can not find 15 milcircs or
text-based programs in use.  This morning we counted only 11 open programs,
which should leave us 4 to use.  Still, we were not able to open anymore
milcircs.

Does anyone else run into this and are there any obvious problems I am not
seeing?  (We do use a fastprinter attached to our lantronix box (the only
thing left on the box) but even then we are not able to account for the
other ports being in use.)
