Problem with port
 

Hello All,

A service created by a software is using a port. How can I make this port free from that particular service. The port is being used even after uninstallation of that software.

use netstat to see what applications are using open ports

for udp ports:

netstat -anup

for tcp ports:

netstat -antp

oh, and run those as root.

Suppose, if the port 6061 is being used by httpd , how to release this port 6061 from this service.

try '/etc/init.d/httpd stop'

or 'killall `pidof httpd`'

Great thanks !!

It works now. Sorry , it was a minor question but it all happens with beginner.
