How to find a PID of an process which is running on a specific port

Infoyard — Mon, 14 May 2012 10:19:28 +0000

As a system admin, these kind of scenario is very common where we need to find a PID of one process which is running on a specified port. In JBoss administration this comes very handy.

In this case, consider jboss is not started up due to the error , Port already in use 51315

You need to find the PID of the process which used the port 51315 and kill so that Jboss can have a clean start.

lsof is a command which help you here, with option -i and hostname:port.

lsof -i @testjbsuat75:51315

Here testjbsuat75 is the hostname and port is 51315

Now we get the PID and you can Kill it using Kill -9 command.

PS:

You can find the process which are running by

netstat -ia | grep 513

Free tool to unlock your zip password – recover rar file password

Infoyard — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 03:17:18 +0000

There is an option to password protect your zip files while creating an archive. Have you ever faced a situation where you have forgot the password. As we all know if you don’t know the password the zip or rar file which we have created is useless.

There is a simple yet great tool to recover the password. This tool is named as appnimi and it does permutation and combination of all the characters given and try to match the password. There are two modes for this software. One is Brute Force Attack mode where it tries all the combination and try to extract the content to the specified location. Other one is dictionary Attack. In this mode it make use of a words file which is attached with this software. This file contains many known and commonly used passwords. There are great chances to get the password from this list. Problem with Brute force is that it is a bit slow and if you don’t have a clue of length of the password , the process could run for days depending on your PCs processing speed.

How to create a mysql database using cpanel and add users to db

Infoyard — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:36:22 +0000

There may be situations where you need to create databases using cpanel such as while setting up forums or helpdesk tools or any applications which require a database to store data. Many times we don’t realize that wordpress is using its own database if you have installed wordpress using fantastico or quick install. These tools will create the database and populate tables required for the wordpress by itself. But when comes to the applications which are installed outside the cpanel or not through cpanel then you may have to go through the steps of creating database and adding users to this database. Later this username , password and database name would be required to install the applications such as vbulletin or mybb etc.

1. Login to cpanel

2. click on Mysql

3. Type in your DB Name to be created according to your choice

4. Create a user and attach that user to the DB which you have created

Done.
