How to Find process listening on a port I recently had an issue while implementing my web-server as the default port was used by something else. I used below commands in AIX to find more details of that process 1. Use netstat command to find the protocol control block or PCB which is a protocol layer for UDP or TCP sockets eg.  netstat -Aan | grep <port_number> netstat -Aan | grep 30501 output will be something like $ netstat -Aan | grep 30501 f1000e0001363bb8 tcp4     0     0  *.30501     *.*     LISTEN 2. As "root" user, run rmsock command. Don't worry it won't remove anything as specified in the documentation . usage: rmsock Address TypeofAddress eg. rmsock f1000e0001363bb8 tcpcb output: The socket f1000e0001363bb8 is being held by proccess 15854120 (perl). You can further diagnose the process using "ps -ef | grep <process_id>" and see the real process. A good documentation can be found in IBM site which caters for Windows as well.

Ready made module in Perl to convert epoch time to DB2 or Human timestamp formats  (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) Write a function convertEpochToHumanTimestamp and call this from the required sub.     # Function    : convertEpochToHumanTimestamp # Description : Convert Epoch into a formatted time suitable for insertion into a Human database timestamp #               column. The output format is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" my $inputEpoch = shift; my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = gmtime($inputEpoch); $mon++; $year = $year + 1900; my $humanTime = sprintf ("%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", $year, $mon, $mday, $hour, $min, $sec); return ($humanTime);

Everyone must have seen in sci-fi movies about the handheld guns with lasers and waves going. But I would say the modern weapons are more advanced than that. Its more fearful that governments are now officially supporting it. Recent article from Russia http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2123415/Putin-targets-foes-zombie-gun-attack-victims-central-nervous-system.html Technologies might include direct-energy weapons - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon wave-energy weapons genetic weapons - all for mass destruction geophysical weapons - like weather modification, changing layers of atmosphere  (check HAARP project) psychotronic weapons - Brain manipulation remotely. Of course no one can gurantee these technologies won't reach others who are NOT intended for !! All these I feel are dangerous to human kind.
