[lug] hung port

[Duncan McGreggor]

Hey all,

I've got a linux server that runs apache. The apache process is now 
dead, but tcp port 80 is still listening. To confirm there is no 
process associated with this I have done the following:

netstat -pn|grep 80
lsof -i|grep http

There is an open port with no process associated with it. Does anyone 
know how to close an orphan port without rebooting the server?

Thanks!

Duncan
