Manually closing a port from commandline
- by codingfreak
I want to close an open port which is in listening mode between my client and server application.
Is there any manual command line option in Linux to close a port ??
NOTE: I came to know that "only the application which owns the connected socket should close it, which will happen when the application terminates."
I dont understand why it is only possible by the application which opens it ... But still eager to know if there is any another way to do it ??
