Say, for instance, that you are running a website. You are playing around, using netstat, etc. You notice all the people whom are connected to the site. You then wonder if there is a way to kill one or more of these connections. However, they are not PIDs so could you use the kill command? I was just wondering how to kill such a connection. Perhaps the person has been on for too long taking up to much BANDWIDTH! Or is a hacker - whatever.

Thanks,
Robert

You need a utility like lsof (with kill) for this; and if you do a site search on lsof you will find answers to your query.
