System - 9076/H50 running AIX 4.3.3 at ML10. The application running on the system has opened a port that cannot be closed. We have tried stopping and starting the portmap both in and out of SMIT. Refreshing the inetd agian in and out of SMIT, and kill -1 against the inetd. The only thing that has worked so far is to reboot the system. Is there any other way to kill off an individual port?
 
If you use lsof ( freeware software ) you should be able to find out what application program is using the socket , and if applicable you can kill it or stop the application.
 
The team responsible for that application has tried shutting down the site controlling that port, to no avail.
 
what state is the port in ( netstat -an) ?
It could be that the application process has spawned a child process , and its the child process you need to stop/kill?

Have you tried lsof ?
because this will list what processes are attached to a specific port .
