Hi

The 'TTY' column only shows what terminal the process is controlled from on the local system (if any). In most instances it will be '?' meaning that no terminal is controlling that process. The 'TTY' column will never show an IP address.

Not exactly sure what you are after but you may have some success using:
# lsof -i | grep " 26186 "

(Note lsof must be installed on your system)

Cheers

Hi,
If it showing "?" then mostly its a system Process or daemon started by the your System itself. To know IP Address of your System's NIC :

# ifconfig lan0
or whatever interface you use. lan1,lan2,..

You can trace the IP of remote telnet session then use:

# ps -ef
Identify the tty no. e.g. if it is pts/ta then

# who -R | grep pts/ta

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hai,

We can idenitify the ip-address by relating two commands ps and who as

# Give the PID
PID=$1

who -Ru | grep `ps -aefl | grep -v grep | grep $PID | awk '{print $13}' | uniq`

It will give all the informations.

By default, process tty with ? are enabled by system.

If you want to get the tty only, use the ps with out who command.
