How do I release port 80 on a beaglebone so I can use it?
I have a beaglebone on which I have configured lighttpd to run. Currently I have it running on port 8080 and it works fine. Except I really want to use it on port 80. Unfortunately it won't start on port 80 because it fails and reports that the port is already in use. When I access the beaglebone via HTTP on port 80, of course I get the beaglebone 101 screen.
This page suggests that I run systemctl disable bone101.service but that service does not even exist on my version of Angstrom. I am using the Angstrom img I got from here, which is Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.04.13.img.xz.
I am currently running with all of the following disabled:
systemctl disable cloud9.service
systemctl disable gateone.service
systemctl disable bonescript.service
systemctl disable bonescript-autorun.service
systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service
systemctl disable gdm.service # this disables the Gnome desktop which is maybe irrelevant here, but saves a ton of memory
But I still get the problem on port 80.
I know that node.js is what's serving up the content, but even when ps aux shows that node.js is not running (I can kill it), it seems that accessing the port once again invokes node.js.
How can I disable port 80 once and for all so I can free it up for use by lighttpd?
Here is the complete output from ps aux:

Also, the /etc/xinetd.conf file is pretty barren:
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
And the /etc/xinetd.d folder is empty.
I've also tried using netstat, but it fails to provide the -p switch on the beaglebone for some reason, so I don't get any information about which process is responsible.
The best output I can get from netstat is with netstat -nl | grep tcp which gives:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 :::53 :::* LISTEN
netstat -p says invalid option -- 'p',
Answer
I found the solution at last. The secret is to also disable the socket as well as the service.
systemctl disable bonescript.service
systemctl disable bonescript.socket
systemctl disable bonescript-autorun.service
And now I can use port 80 for lighttpd.
