How can I determine what pre-existing TCP daemon port numbers are in use by
other services? I need to do this for HP-UX, Sun (Solaris), and AIX.

netstat -an | pg should work for AIX and Solaris and probably for HP-UX
it's been way too long.

This will only get you services that are already running.  You could
run into a conflict if the service is defined but not running, like
TELNET or FTP, etc. that are spawned out of /etc/inetd.conf.

  You can also run "iss". This program scans all ports for one, or several, IP
adresses. it will give you all the "active" ports. You can download it from
http://www-frec.bull.com for the AIX version.

Open a socket, and try to bind to that port number. If the port is in
use, the bind will fail unless you set SO_REUSEADDR. Another
possibility would be to parse the output of something like "netstat
-an."
