Checking if service is running
Hi,

For audit reasons, I need to stop the web server service in some Solaris servers.
The port that is listening for this service is port 10000.

This is the output that shows the port 10000 is open in the server :

Code:
# netstat -an | grep 10000
10.70.21.144.10000   10.70.21.133.58130   49640      0 49640      0 FIN_WAIT_2
      *.10000              *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
10.70.21.145.52626   10.70.21.248.10000   17536      0 49640      0 CLOSE_WAIT
#

However, firewall is not even enabled in the server. How come the port shows as listening if the firewall is not even open :

Code:
# svcs -a|grep -i ipfil
disabled       Dec_23   svc:/network/ipfilter:default
#

Seems like apache2 shows disabled :

Code:
# svcs apache2
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       Dec_23   svc:/network/http:apache2
#

Checking for service apache and httpd does not produce any output :

Code:
# svcs httpd
svcs: Pattern 'httpd' doesn't match any instances
STATE          STIME    FMRI

Code:
# svcs apache
svcs: Pattern 'apache' doesn't match any instances
STATE          STIME    FMRI
#

And when I check if apache process is running :

Code:
# ps -ef | grep apache
 sdpuser  1134  1358   0   Apr 26 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 22971  1358   0   Apr 26 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 10910  1358   0 11:11:14 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser  1358     1   0   Dec 23 ?           2:25 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 14745  1358   0 09:41:09 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 10915  1358   0 11:11:15 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
    root  6445  5575   0 14:47:52 pts/5       0:00 grep apache

# ps -ef | grep httpd
 sdpuser  1134  1358   0   Apr 26 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 22971  1358   0   Apr 26 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 10910  1358   0 11:11:14 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser  1358     1   0   Dec 23 ?           2:25 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 14745  1358   0 09:41:09 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
 sdpuser 10915  1358   0 11:11:15 ?           0:00 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
    root  6463  5575   0 14:48:00 pts/5       0:00 grep httpd
#

I do not understand how the outputs above are related. When I check the status of apache2 with svcs it shows that apache2 is disabled. There is no output for svcs apache & svcs httpd. But ps -ef shows some httpd process. Does this mean that apache/httpd is started in some customized way, and not using svcs?

If so, does killing the process id from the ps -ef output kill the web server process once and for all?

And how do I stop the server from listening to port 10000 when the firewall is not even open? Will killing the process id "49152" do it?

Thanks,
Aigini
