Here is an alternate suggestion: If you are going to use a non-standard port, find one below 1024.

@Kent: The nmap program can tell you if the port in question is in use:

nmap -p8722 localhost

The response will be “open” if some service is listening on that port, or “closed” otherwise.

The page below contains a list of all current standard port assignments:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Port #8722 is listed as “unassigned”.

How do we determine a good port number to use? Why did you choose 8722? What happens if I pick a port number that is already in use by some other process? How would I make sure the port I choose isn’t being used?
