Forcing shutdown of a socket

[Stuart Whitby]

Gurus,

I'm trying to set up some hands-on debugging training for some people in my office, and want to force a shutdown of a socket from one side of the connection only. I've done this before, but can't remember how, and can't find anything in the first 4 pages of Google or the ITRC which shows me this.

I know this is not good practice, but I'm specifically trying to break something in order to get people to do some hands-on truss and lsof to identify where the problem is.

Any clues? I know you have to force a shutdown of the socket identifier at (effectively) kernel level, just can't for the life of me remember the commands to find that identifier or kill it.

HP11.00 64 bit, btw.

Cheers,

Stuart.

Bah. Force, disconnect, socket - didn't look for free, port, process.

Thanks Harry :)
