We have a XYZ batch process that kicks of 2:00 AM every day. This XYZ is configured to starts on port 59070. Once it finishes this port is a open port.But recently we had a problem where, another process was using 59070 and when this XYZ process started, it failed to run.As a workaround,we have updated the configuration to different port 59071 and ran the process OK.My query is that, is there anyway,we can block this port 59070 & ensure no other process uses it?we are using Solaris 10.
How to make a port dedicated for a specific scheduled process?
