Monitoring Port Activity

[Scott Buckingham]

Does anyone know of a network port activity tool for Unix systems? We are trying to see what processes are utilizing a particular port and whether or not another process is also using that port.

Hi

You'll get a thousand responses, and they will all say, get lsof.

Craig, I concur, lsof!

And you can get versions for sun, aix, and linux!

Thank you! I have passed this information on and I will assign points after I hear how it goes (most likely 10's all around)! Stay tuned.

I've run into a problem trying to get the utility. Is this a freebie that I can download or do I have to jump through a couple hoops to get to it?

Scott,

Here are the HP port sites:

http://hpux.asknet.de/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/

http://hpux.cict.fr/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/

http://hpux.tn.tudelft.nl/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/

http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/

http://hpux.u-aizu.ac.jp/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/

To install it, after downloading it, gunzip it, then use swinstall (interactively).


For SUN I use:
