command,

		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.
