I have been running a Half-Life server on port 27016 for a month. All of a sudden, I can't bind to the port that it's supposed to run on (27016/udp). Netstat says that there's a recv-q for it, but no program is listening on the port. How can I resolve this without rebooting?
[root@redbox ~]# netstat -unlp Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name udp 3680 0 0.0.0.0:27015 0.0.0.0:* 13450/hlds_amd udp 110400 0 0.0.0.0:27016 0.0.0.0:* - udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:27017 0.0.0.0:* 14359/hlds_amd
