Find what process on port number
Hi,

I am on a Sun Solaris and I want to find out which process is allocated on a certain port. How can I do that?

Code:
lsof -p <pidofyourprocess> | grep -E "TCP|UDP"

It should show something like (I took apache2 in my example):
Code:
apache2 30941 root    4u  IPv6 264107             TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 30941 root    6u  IPv6 264112             TCP *:webcache (LISTEN)

You can check this service names (www and webcache) in your /etc/services to get the port number.

Thanks.

But if I donīt know the process? I want to find out the process which is using the port. I.e I would like to know which process uses port 80?

Reading the man page for lsof is a good idea.

Another example:
Code:
lsof -i :80
COMMAND   PID     USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
apache2 11508 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 11509 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 11510 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 11511 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 11512 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 11513 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 11545 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 30941     root    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 30952 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 30953 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 30955 www-data    4u  IPv6 264107       TCP *:www (LISTEN)

There you get a lot of PIDs involved on port 80 for example.
