>From time to time people ask how does one know which sockets are being listened to and people answer with a form of netstat whose parameters I can never remember. The fact that people don't suggest the program ss indicates that they never heard of it. If you've heard of it great for you. Don't jump on me. try: ss -l and ss-l -n and you will never go back to netsat for this purpose. ss has other parameters that are equally interesting. I found it while mistyping ssh. -- ======================================================================= He who slings mud generally loses ground. -- Adlai Stevenson ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
