Process tracing

[yc_2]

Hi,

I have the following process list:

$ ps -ef | grep "pts/ta"
informix 10730 26160 0 09:44:40 pts/ta 0:00 dbaccess tpexam
informix 26160 26159 0 May 3 pts/ta 0:00 -sh
leongyc 4554 28428 1 17:22:23 pts/1 0:00 grep pts/ta
root 26159 804 0 May 3 pts/ta 0:00 telnetd -b

How to trace where is "pts/ta"?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,
can you please expand what you mean by trace?

who -u | grep 'pts/ta' would give you the ip-address of the connect.

root process 26159 is parent of 26160 which, in turn, is parent of 10730.

Hi,

By tracing, if you mean the trace the ip address of the machine from where the user has telneted - then you can do a
who -uH
and check the pts/xy an the ip address against it in the above commands output.
Please clarify if you mean something else.

regards,
Ninad
