Hello
im using sunos im trying to lock down application that taking my port
when Im doing "netstat –in | grep 8080"
Is gives me the indication that the port is taken but no indication who is taken the port.
How can I find out who is taking my port?


Thanks allot

The simplets way is to use lsof.

On Linux at least, you should also be able to do a

netstat -tlnp | grep 8080

as root to check the process that is holding the port open.

what is lsof? and how can i use it?
by the way the linux way dont work on sunOs
thanks

now when im checking in sunos i dont see this tool , i need standart sulotion
whitout installing any thing ...

check out the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
files for the possible s/w and their assigned ports...

Thanks for the fast reply ..
Correct me if im wrong.. but those files show me process that using ports
ok so its also way to know but what is the port that is taken don’t exists in the list ?
