I recently installed Cygwin on my windows server, not I wanted to check what process is using what port, I've tried to use the following command:
fuser -TERM -n tcp 25565
Then it gave me an error, Can't open protocolfile '/proc/net/tcp': No such file or directory
Am I missing something, or is there another way of finding out what proccess is using a specific port?

Cygwin doesn't attempt to emulate every aspect of Linux. If you want to check what process is using what port, you can run netstat -b as admin. Note that this is Windows's own netstat (most likely in C:\Windows\System32); Cygwin doesn't have its own netstat, as far as I know.

Not sure I understand why Cygwin provides the fuser command in the psmisc package if basic usage gives this message. – Steve Chambers – 2018-02-27T09:40:07.133
1psmisc is "a set of some small useful utilities that use the proc filesystem", so it includes other things besides fuser. The whole package was designed for Linux, not Cygwin, but it's still useful to the extent that Cygwin implements procfs. For example, fuser does work for showing which Cygwin processes have a file open. – jjlin – 2018-03-13T07:42:19.093
Noone has any answer? I'm a sad panda :( – Stefan Candan – 2013-07-11T05:40:02.330
