If you have ‘lsof’, try the following:
/usr/sbin/lsof | grep portNumber
If the port is still being used by another process, it will return something like this:
hciengine 749744 hci 24u IPv4 0xf10000f30506db58 0t0 TCP hostName:44688->172.24.201.192:61296 (ESTABL
ISHED)
You can then grep on the pid (749744) to determine what is using your port number. Most of the time it is another CL process. Other times it may be the monitor daemon or lock manager.
Let me know what you find out. I’d be interested in knowing.

Thanks Steve…
Sorry I forgot to add… we are on AIX 5.2/CL5.3.2. What is baffling me is that this port has been working for 5+ years, and this morning at 4:43 it had an error, that said “too many files”. I stopped and restarted the engine and now I get the current error message – Unable to bind tcp/ip socket: Address already in use…
