Network socket Release

[R.Suresh]

Dear all,

How can I kill a locked network port,
which was created by a network application.

The application is killed.
But when is start the application again,
it gives the xxxx port is in use.

Thanks
R.suresh.

Hi:

You may be faced with a reboot to clear the port.

While 'netstat -an' will show you the ports in use, you will need 'lsof' to determine what process is bound to the port.
