How to delete unclosed connections?

Hi All,
I've a problem with unclosed connections. Once a client aborts a connection
accidentelly (client crash or power failure eg.), it stucks in and postgres
won't restart or stop. Is there any way to close unused (dead) connections.
I'd guess that some kind of connection timeout option should do this. Aren't
I right?

Tank you in advance.

Best Regards,

It will, once the TCP/IP timeout happens. That's about 2 hours on
many systems.

Hi Andrew,
Oh? pg_ctl -m f stop or pg_ctl -m i stop doesn't work? Aha, I'll try it.
Find the pid and kill -2 will work. To tell the truth I do not like to kill a database backend. It can lead many
problems. I prefer indulgent methods instead, you know.
It'll be the ultimate solution.

I see, it sholud be waited for...

Thank you very much Anderw!

Only for your applications. Postgresql survives this kind of thing quite
well, with no data corruption, trust me, I've tested that part thourougly
lately.

Hi Scott,

well, with no data corruption, trust me, I've tested that
part thourougly

OK, I trust you. To tell the truth I've never faced serious problems in
connection with killing postgres. But as far as I'm concerned I could never
exclude this possibility. If I can solve my problem in a regular way I
choose that way, but I won't hesitate killing postgres when the time
comes...
On the other hand my applications are strong enough to avoid serious
problems. The most important thing is the health of the backend. But as you
mentioned it is not a question anymore.

Thank you.
