[Solaris] Which process is bound to a given port ?

Again I was faced with the problem of a port being busy and needed to determine what process was bound to it. The little script below I picked up some time ago from the internet came in handy. I unfortunately cannot remember though to whom I owe credits. Here it is:

#!/bin/ksh

line='---------------------------------------------'
pids=$(/usr/bin/ps -ef -o pid=)

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
read ans?"Enter port you would like to know pid for: "
else
ans=$1
fi

for f in $pids
do
/usr/proc/bin/pfiles $f 2>/dev/null | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -q "port: $ans"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo $line
echo "Port: $ans is being used by PID:\c"
pargs -l $f
#/usr/bin/ps -o pid,args -p $f
fi
done
exit 0
