Error message when trying to restart unrealircd

[Ghosty]

Hey guys, since I cant find this in the faq, or in the docs, and no one on the IRC channel felt like lending a hand without being in the support channel (which I got banned from for answer some stupid question wrong for 24 hours, ridiculous) I figured I'd try my luck here.

When I try to restart/rehash/stop unrealIRCd it tells me that it cant find /Unreal3.2/ircd.pid which to me sounds like the program is not running.

I check in ps to see if there is anything running in there, there isnt.

So I figure, maybe its not running, so I start the unrealircd and I get this message:

Error binding stream socket 0.0.0.0 port 6667 - irc.fileshed.net[]:Address already in use

which makes me think that the ircd is still running somewhere...

Can I get some help on how to quit/restart this thing.

few commands you should look into learning... and by the way, unreal is the wrong place to be learning how to use a linux/unix operating system...

killall (procid) : example killall ircd

ps aux
ps aux -U (username)

out side of the possiblity that, you might wanna check if you are binding anything to all possible IP address, instead of the one given to you, something else might be using the port your ircd is.
