Folks,

It is something that I am noticing, and it's repeatable on CentOS 6.9. I'm using the below configurations for CLI:

[CLI]

type=service

router=cli

[CLI Listener]

type=listener

service=CLI

protocol=maxscaled

port=6603

#socket=default

I'm stopping maxscale and commenting the socket variable, adding port. When I stop it, the socket should go out, be removed by the process (right?). But, this is not happening by the way:

1. stop maxscale
2. comment socket, add port
3. start maxscale

You can see that socket is still there:

[root@box01 ~]# ls -lh /tmp/maxadmin*

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root     root     587 Dec 14 12:29 /tmp/maxadmin_output.txt

srwxrwxrwx 1 maxscale maxscale   0 Dec 14 13:02 /tmp/maxadmin.sock

Thanks, folks!
