How to make ports into listening

[tvnaresh581]

Hi Experts,

 In my environment we have Hp-UX 11.31 . Now we need to take few tcp ports(3210,3310,3610,4710,4810) into listening situation, but we can't. Can u please suggest me how to do this. /etc/services file have these all ports.

Thanks in advance...........

No idea what services you talk about, but behind such port must be a special daemon or even inetd listening who knows how to handle incoming requests.

I beleive "lsof" will help. It will show you all the sockets (along with port number) owned by all the processes running on the system. Then, you'll know who owns the port(s).

Sorry but I have to go very soon and have no time to tell you how to get "lsof". Hope you'll find it from Internet yourself.
