Re: Killing all TCP connections on a given port number

You didn't say "programmatically" in your original message. To me, doing this programmatically would indicate a flaw in the software that you're killing that it doesn't know how to close it's own connections when it needs to. A real kludge.

But, it's certainly possible to do it. Just call the QtocLstNetCnn API to get the same listing that NETSTAT *CNN shows, then for each connection (You can code IF statements to filter the list) run the ENDTCPCNN command to end it.

That's great for doing it interactively. We do it all the time. It would
be even better if WRKTCPSTS *CNN had subsetting-by-port as a
command-line parameter, rather than just as something you had to do from
a function key after you already had the display up.

What I need is a way to do the equivalent programmatically. Something
that I can have a CL program do, in order to clear out an indeterminate
number of client-server jobs on that port, so that the library used by
the server can be restored from a save file.

It's to be part of a system by which our testing czar (who's not
especially terminal-literate) can reset his testing environment without
anybody else having to step in and help him.
