SUMMARY: Kill a weblogic process holding a port open

[Billy Talton]

Many thanks to all that helped me with this issue.  A special thanks to
Sonny Baillargeon for pointing out that (once downloaded and installed)
lsof was indeed the tool I needed.  I just used [lsof -i TCP:port#] to
identify the process.  Thanks again for our support.



Sincerely,

Subject: Kill a weblogic process holding a port open



All,



I have a Weblogic process that refuses to release a port on my Solaris
server when it is stopped.  I know this because when I try to restart
the process it gives me an "Address in user" error.  I am relegated to
rebooting the box every time this occurs.  I'm not asking for advice on
the problematic Weblogic issue (that's for another authority) - what I'd
like to know is how I would go about identifying the process that is
holding the socket/port open. I'm fine with using the "kill -9 whatever"
to get rid of it but I can't figure out which process is controlling it.
I've used "netstat  -a| grep weblogic" and verified that it is still
open.  I've read about "lsof"... but the package apparently is not
available for download on Sun's Freeware site.  I'm using a Solaris e250
(SunOS 5.7) server, Weblogic 5.1 SP3.  Please advise.



Sincerely,



Billy Talton
