[olug] Unix Tip: IDENTIFY A PROCESSES

[Vincent]

An often overlooked feature of fuser is to get the pid which has bound a port:
[-- at --- ~/]$ fuser -n tcp 25
25/tcp:               4466
[-- at --- ~/]$ ps -p `fuser -n tcp 25 | awk '{print $2}'` fu
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      4466  0.0  0.0  2448 1228 ?        S    Mar16   0:53 sendmail: accepting connections
