How to get sockets which are listening on a specific port in linux?
An application may be binding multiple sockets to a specific port,how can I get those sockets command line?
lsof will also provide you with information about open sockets:
$ lsof -i TCP:17500
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
Dropbox 244 username 19u IPv4 0x05584748 0t0 TCP *:17500 (LISTEN)
Netstat can provide you this information :
petrus@srv:~$ sudo netstat -taunp
Connexions Internet actives (serveurs et établies)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Adresse locale Adresse distante Etat PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:4949 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7837/munin-node
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6399/sshd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:56317 0.0.0.0:* 9639/rpc.statd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:911 0.0.0.0:* 9639/rpc.statd
Output shortened for clarity.
If you are using *bsd system (I don't know if it exist for linux and other *nix), there is this socksat command, which does what you are looking for.
