killing tcp/ip connections on hpux 11i

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs,

If we want to kill tcp/ip connections on various ports (one port) then how to kill them ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Killing or disconnecting the port is not good idea. You should stop the process that is using that port.

You can check which port is being used by which processes.

netstat -an

lsof -i tcp:80
lsof -i udp:123

Stopping tcp/ip connection will not solve the problem. It will come to an end on completly stopping that specific process.

Find the process id with lsof tool and kill it. It will solve the problem.

hi,

tcp/ip connections may have been created by many different processes. Some of which might be very important for your system to be running.

As mentioned above, it would be wiser to individually stop the processes using the normal procedures..

hepe this helps too!

You cant kill a TCP connection on a port, what you could do is, close all apps running with that TCP, close the resposncible server or restart the machine .

Hi Shiv

You may download lsof from following site:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search?package=on&description=on&term=lsof

lsof will provide info on processes involved with tcp ports. They may be selectively killed
