socket bind



Anyone know how to clear a socket for use?  I am trying to run the AMX
daemon on htsr at port 6901, but it complains:

htsr:~/mash-works/mash-1/tcl/erik/amxserver> my405.tcl
Error in startup script: dp_MakeRPCServer:  couldn't open socket: address
already in use
    while executing
"dp_MakeRPCServer 6901"
    (file "my405.tcl" line 89)
htsr:~/mash-works/mash-1/tcl/erik/amxserver> ps -a
  PID  TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
17757  p0  Ss     0:00.36 -tcsh (tcsh)
17814  p0  R+     0:00.00 ps -a
13905  p1- IW     0:00.00 (smash)

  165  v1  IWs+   0:00.00 (getty)
  166  v2  IWs+   0:00.00 (getty)


I don't think any program has used that port for a long time.  I don't
know why it's stuck.  Anyone know how to free it up?

thanks,

Erik
