[FIXED] How do I see if memcached is already running on my chosen port?

Issue

I am having some problems with memcached and one idea I am having is that perhaps it is already running on the port I am trying to run it on, started by some other user on our network. Is there a way to tell what memcached ports are currently in use?

Solution

Try

netstat -ap | grep TheChosenPort#

and see if anything is listening on those TCP or UDP ports.
