Hi,

kill is used to kill process.

How it's possible to kill a tcp session btw client and solaris server
without killing process ?

So, i have some tcp connexion to the application running on my solaris
server, and i need to know how it's possible to kill session btw one
client and my server.

Check out a utility called lsof - to the best of my knowledge it isn't
included with Solaris. It will list open files, including network
connections. The difference between it and netstat is that lsof will
list the PID .

The OP did ask for a way to drop the session without killing the process.

While OpenBSD and FreeBSD (at least), there is a utility called tcpdrop
which will do this. I don't think that Solaris has an equivalent,
although you could null route the client IP if you were happy to drop
all traffic between the client and server..
