Hi,

On HP-UX I am trying to determine the process name/id that is bound to
a particular port. On linux I can use "netstat -ap" but on hp-ux
"netstat -p" means differently. The HP site suggested to use lsof but
its binary is outdated on the box that I am on (lsof: WARNING:
compiled for HP-UX release B.11.11; this is B.11.23...)

So are there any other ways to do this on HP-UX?

Thanks a lot in advance.

There may be some ways to use pstat() calls - that is probably what
lsof is doing. You should simply get an 11.23 lsof binary - perhaps
via http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

What is leading you to want to do this? Trouble restarting a server
on a "well-known" port? If so, then you should not need to find an
offending pid unless it has a socket bound to that port number and in
the LISTEN state (assuming TCP) unless your server code isn't setting
SO_REUSEADDR before trying to bind().
