Socket occupied by TIME_WAIT status

Question

I can see TIME_WAIT on port 9180 with "netstat -an cmd" and see nothing with "lsof -i:9180".

My application could not start and report the socket had been occupied.

The *port* is in TIME_WAIT state. Not the socket. The socket is already closed, and so is the peer's. — user207421, Apr 03 '22 at 04:53

A very good explanation of this problem is given in these links, link1, link2.

To solve this problem, wait for some time so that timeout of fin-wait could happen and port finally moved to closed state.
