blowtorch is correct (by the way: yes, the filenames are correct for AIX too, regardless of the version). The problem is not a problem of the port, but a problem of the application. You will probably be able to remedy the problem by applying a healthy dose of "kill -9" onto the processes of your application.
Do something like the following:
Code:
ps -fe | grep exiting | while read junk PID junk ; do
kill -9 $PID
done
I hope this helps.
