How to kill a socket used by PeopleSoft Application server (JSL), using rmsock on AIX

In project phase, when you build and rebuild environments, you might face the issue where a port is not released correctly by the host.

Here is an example to identify which process is assigned to this port, and how to release it (kill).

psft@AIXHOST0001(ORACLE_SID):/peoplesoft/HRMS91/pt850x/appserv> netstat -@aA | grep 9700

Global  f1000e0007054bb0 tcp4       0      0  AIXHOST0001.9700  *.*                LISTEN

psft@AIXHOST0001 (ORACLE_SID):/peoplesoft/HRMS91/pt850x/appserv> rmsock f1000e0007054bb0 tcpcb                

The socket 0x7054808 is being held by proccess 13959176 (JSL).

psft@AIXHOST0001 (ORACLE_SID):/peoplesoft/HRMS91/AU/pt850x/appserv> kill -9 13959176
