You can use an online port scanner, or just use a downloadable port scanner and scan your loopback address.

1. u can use

telnet 127.0.0.1 8084

to test if a port is opening.

2. use kill to kill a proccess

kill -9 the pid

Use

Code:

/sbin/iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --dport 8084 -j DROP

to lock it.
