        Hi,
                lsof is the solution to this. I downloaded lsof from
www.sunfreeware.com, did the make of lsof and ran the following
command,

lsof -i:9030

        This give me the PID of the process which was holding the port.

Thanks to Following people for getting me the way to solution :

Douglas Palmer, John England, Hendrik Visage, Ed Rolison.

                Hi all,
                        I had some service brought up on a particular
port. Now the process which brought up the services has gone defunct.
I am unable to find process id which has still held this port. The
output of "netstat -a |grep 9030" is

                *.9030 *.* 0 0 0
0 LISTEN

                        How can I make this port free ?
                        I am using "SunOS 5.6 Generic_105181-23 sun4u
sparc SUNW,Ultra-80"

                        Pls. help.

                Regards,
                Murtuza.
