But pfiles stops the process in question while it examines it.
I would not recommend using pfiles in productive environments.

Just use /usr/proc/bin/pfiles <pid> bit of a pain to do it in reverse (i.e. speicfy pid to get the port) but a simple script can rip thru it for you....

echo "which port?> "
read port

for pid in `ps -ef -o pid | tail +2`
do
foundport=`/usr/proc/bin/pfiles $pid 2>&1 | grep "sockname:" | grep "por
t: $port$"`
if [ "$foundport" != "" ]
then
echo "proc: $pid, $foundport"
fi
done

netstat -anp works on linux, but not Solaris :-(

Actually, you can skip a whole step there... if you add the '-p' argument to netstat, it includes the PID of the process in question!

So instead of netstat -an, try netstat -anp.
