Glassfish domain starting problem

I had a problem of starting one of the glassfish domains in one of our servers. This server has multiple glassfish domain.



Domain was not getting started. When I checked the log file I got the error:
Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:359)

This means that some port used by this domain is currently being used by some other process, so it is unable to start.
So I found out the ports used by this domain from domain.xml file.
After that I have to find out which of these ports are currently in use. So for that I run the command
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netstat -no > c:\netstat.txt
When I examined the output of this command I found
Active Connections

The admin console port 4848 of my domain is being used by the process with process id 20328.
So I have to use a different port for admin console or I have to terminate the process 20328 and start my domain.
When I checked in windows task manager I found that the process 20328 is another domain of glassfish. So I could afford to kill that process and start both the domains.
So, I killed the process 20328 and started both the domains.

This is a very basic problem but  I think it may be helpful for somebody..
