Linux und ports

What process is using/ blocking port?:

lsof -i:<port no>

How can I kill process that blocks the port?:

kill $(lsof -t -i:<port no>)

kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:<porn no>)

Killing programms

Useful links:

kill man page

kill kill -9 #if necessary

Finding of process:

ps -aux | grep firefox

pkill firefox # works too

ctrl + alt + F2 to open a new session if your system crashed.

Permissions

Show permissions recursive:

ls -Rla .

Umount target is busy

Finding the process:

lsof | grep '<mountpoint of /dev/sda1>'A

Some solution that I have not tested yet:

mount -o remount,ro /dev/device

lsof +f -- /dev/<devicename> | awk 'NR==1 || $4~/[0-9]+[uw -]/'

fuser -m /dev/<my-device>
