Question about processes
How does one determine which process initiated any given network connection? Or which program (on disk) initiated the process that initiated the network connection? Been searching, but not finding.

Regards, sockstat will show you all network and unix sockets and the processes and their PIDs. If you want to know more such as the full path or so (if used when invoked), you can run ps wwwaux and grep on the PID.

What you are looking for is the ppid, Parent Process ID. Might find a process was started by inetd this way. netstat is the other tool you are looking for, to list open connections. The proc filesystem may also help associate open connections with running processes. man procfs. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's exactly what I was looking for, Thanks! * David Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-04-10 23:37 +0200]: Read the man page for ps, specifically ps -j and variations of.

I've tried netstat before, no luck - it shows open connections, but I was never able to get the process/program from it. I had skimmed the ps man page, but not read through it thoroughly - I'll rectify that. ;] Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
