I can`t see anything here in that thread so I post again

The problem is then I open up amule over the command line typing:
# ./amule &
I get, of course, all kinds of startup messages by amule. And first thing is
Initialising aMule
Config:
x1: 162 y1: 137 x2: 851 y2: 690
split read, found : 255
*** TCP socket at 8888
*** UDP socket at 8891
as you can see the UDP port is 8891.
my .eMule file and my preferences show me
[eMule]
AppVersion=aMule 1.2.3
......
Port=8888
UDPPort=8889
So which port is amule really using? the port defined in the .eMule file or the one which my log messages tell me when I start amule??
Is there any linux commmand line command to find that out??

thanks for the info
