Bug Session PID & socket connection pid
1. If I use an software application(which connects to the database in the server) in my local pc, how many PID should be registered? Would there be PID for the session and another PID for socket connection?

2. I noticed (through netstat) that when I logged in using the my software application, there are 3 ip addresses used. The ip has a status of TIME_WAIT, ESTABLISHED, and CLOSE_WAIT. Is it possible to force release these Ips?

Thanks

1. When you run the application, run the command: ps -ef | grep name_of_app. This will show you the pids (processes) that are running for your application. Also, regarding the socket connection, unix treats a socket connection as just another file that is opened by the process. However, your application might have a process that is listening to a particular port and then spawns a new process that actually connects to the database.
So it is a bit difficult to tell you something like that.

2. The three conditions that you can see are some of the different conditions that your socket can have. I do not think that you can release sockets/ports without killing the process that is listening on the port.
