cslistener on mac osx (on port 9000)

One day, I was unable to start a java server (Sonar) on port 9000.   It turns out something was already listening:

sudo netstat -an | grep 9000
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.9000         *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.49155        127.0.0.1.9000         CLOSE_WAIT
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.9000         127.0.0.1.49155        FIN_WAIT_2

To find out exactly what was listening:

sudo lsof -i TCP:9000
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
SecureCli 279 bone   13u  IPv4 0x081e5b18      0t0  TCP localhost:49155->localhost:cslistener (CLOSE_WAIT)
SR_Servic 613 root   68u  IPv4 0x081e6b58      0t0  TCP localhost:cslistener (LISTEN)

Google didn't turn up and info on cslistener. So, I hunted down the process. To locate the command and kill it:

locate SR_Service
/opt/CPsrsc-50/bin/SR_Service

A quick read of the copyright in /opt/CPsrsc-50 revealed that the culprit was Checkpoint firewall. Sure enough, a quick uninstall of Checkpoint and 9000 was happily available.

Hopefully this helps people that can't track down cslistener.
