After putting the site I've developed on a live test basis I notice that I'm getting some zombie connections. I'm using the medusa active channel display code as in the code below. I notice that there are kill_zombies method for zhhtp_channel, but how should I use that method? My approach uses a similar approach, but is probably wrong. The zombie killers aren't happening in Zope as it stands. Can I ask why not? can I get the same thing to happen for other channels eg ftp etc? #status.py from ZServer.medusa.status_handler import channel_list_producer from ZServer.medusa.asyncore import socket_map from ZServer.HTTPServer import zhttp_channel from string import replace from time import time def __build(s): r='' while 1: t = s.more() if t=='': break r = r + t return r def get_active_channels(): r='' s=channel_list_producer('aaaa') r = r + replace(__build(s),'<p><a href="aaaa">Status Report</a>','') return r def kill_zombies(self): now = int (time()) for channel in socket_map.keys(): if channel.__class__ == zhttp_channel: if (now - channel.creation_time) > channel.zombie_timeout: channel.close() -- Robin Becker
