 Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2006 9:33 am Post subject: Mldonkey - Taking far too long to stop [solved] |
 |
|
I'm running the mldonkey server as a daemon service on a gentoo box.
When I go to stop the service:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/mldonkey stop
|
it takes about 3-4 minutes to stop.
Why does it take so long?
Is there any wrong here?
Is there something I can do to speed the closing of the daemon?
As a side question what is the differnence between mlnet and mldonkey?

Hi,
i had the same "problem". For me it was the number of IP-Connections that were open at that time. The mldonkey Daemon only stops
if every connection has been closed.
Try to look at the number of connections that are open while mldonkey is running and see them slowly decreasing while
you stop the daemon.
| Code: | | watch netstat -atnp | wc -l |
If that is the case for you then you can use the optimizations i used:
I have changed several timeout values under
| Code: | | /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ |
The most important one are these:
| Code: | /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time |
Some of them are explained here:
http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap6sec75.html
If you decrease the timeouts, the connections can be closed faster. |

For me it stops instantly if I run it in a terminal window and ctrl c it.
So it points to a problem with the init.d shut down script, not a issue with the connection, doesn't it? |

Has anybody found a solution yet? Here, it doesn't stop at all.Bloody annoying when I try to shut down my computer...
If I watch the number of connections the way you suggested, bejo, it stays at 35 and doesn't decrease at all (at least not in 20 minutes)

Remerging mldonkey fixed it for me.

| I actually found the problem to be a port wasn't open for mldonkey. If you get this problem, make sure all the ports required are open. |

When you "make" MLDonkey mlnet is build, its a binary with all network modules activated
by ./configure are linked into. "make mldonkey" creates a binary with EDK module only,
same is possible for mlbt, mlgnutella, mlfasttrack, mlfiletp |

| To improve MLDonkey performance activate USE flag "threads". |
