Strange socket problem

[huy]

Hi,

I'm using cherrypy to provide a user interface for users to start a 
linux server program eg. os.system("nohup myserver.py &"). The problem 
is that if I stop cherrypy server and restart, I get the "Address 
Already In Use" problem until I stop myserver.py. Can someone shed some 
light on why this happens ? Why would the socket be held up in the other 
process ?

Thanks

Huy
