Hi Everyone,

How to check the status of the particular port and also clear it if it is locked without reboot?

Please suggest.

Thank you.

Thanks vbe..
though i could find the status of the port whether it is listening or not for particular service, i wonder if there is any direct command that could clear the port.

In my experience of HP-UX only a reboot will work. The stuck processes themselves are usually harmless.

What are you looking for?
CLOSE_WAIT or FIN_WAIT issues?

You could use lsof to determinate wich PIDs are use the port you want and then try to kill it instead of reboot.
