How to make sure that a certain Port is not occupied by any other process

Solution 1:

You can use "netstat" to check whether a port is available or not.

Use the netstat -anp | find "port number" command to find whether a port is occupied by an another process or not. If it is occupied by an another process, it will show the process id of that process.

You have to put : before port number to get the actual output

Ex netstat -anp | find ":8080"

Solution 2:

It's netstat -ano|findstr port no

Result would show process id in last column
