Thanks to
Ray -- rsaddler@cccis.com
Nicolas -- derico@drea.dnd.ca
Micheal -- mwang@tech.cicg.ml.com

The responses ranged from using netstat -a to identify the process and
killing it, to using Solaris' 4 minute timeout when an app crashes, to
commenting out the app in /etc/inetd.conf and kill -HUP-ing inetd.

Thanks again
Sean
ORIGINAL QUESTION

Managers,

I know I've seen this come up before but I didn't save the message and I
couldn't find the answer in the archive, so how does one free up a port
number that is in use? The OS is Solaris 2.6 with current patches
installed.

Thanks,
Sean
