How to terminate lingering TCP connections?

[DarinGowan]

How do I terminate active and lingering TCP connections? I use netstat -tna then grep for a port. I currently have to wait until all connections on my port timeout before I am able to proceed with my actions.

Status include: (fyi only)
LAST_ACK
FIN_WAIT_2

Thank you for your time and attention.

Pull out the network cable?

But seriously.... you would probably need to use pfiles on every process on the system, or lsof (a free third party utility) to find out which processes are using those connections and kill the processes.
