Hi there, I'm new on the list and have tried google for help first, with no luck. I'm writing a small tcpserver and when I debug it and make changes I have to stop the server and I get a hanging socket $ netstat -atn <SNIP> tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10000 127.0.0.1:44420 TIME_WAIT </SNIP> It hangs for apx. 30 secunds, not that I can't wait, but... when making smalle incremeltal changes all the time in the debugging process it becomes very tedious. So, is there any way to send a proper kill signal to a runing ruby script that will run an at_exit() function or the like so it'll shut down cleanly?
