    Every time I run Synchronet on my Ubuntu 26 server, after a while it builds up clients that I'm pretty sure aren't actually still connected .. currently, SBBS has been running for 4 days and it says I currently have 35 clients connected, this is a partial list:

    It's not unusual to have a lot of HTTP clients (TCP sessions) connected, but idle, at any time. You can use tools like netstat and ss to confirm the TCP clients are still connected (they should be).

    So is there a way to just disconnect all and just reset the cunnected clients?

    They're likely not hurting anything, but you can just recycle the web server and that'll drop them if you want.
