Re: FTP listener hung on port 21

If the job says outq, it means the job has ended and there is a job log. Try doing wrkusrjob qtcp *active to see only the jobs that are still active.

Tried it. No luck. Have tried ENDTCPSVR *FTP, killing the job every way I
know how, WRKJOBLOG JOBLOGSTT(*PENDING) PERIOD((*AVAIL *BEGIN)) and killing
it there, etc. etc. Now it says "OUTQ" in WRKUSRJOB.

QTFTP00184 QTCP BATCH OUTQ

But it still has hold of Port 21 and I can start and end *FTP without
changing that.

It finally produced a spooled file which tells me what I already know: the
job ended at 03:05 today abnormally. The immediately prior message is:

Cause . . . . . : Unexpected exit failure. The reason code is 1. The
reason
codes and their meanings follow: 1 -- Error in closing a process
descriptor.

DESPITE all this, it still owns port 21:
