I tried to display all the TCP connections with pids on ubuntu terminal but am not able to do it. Can someone tell a single command to find all tcp connections with pids on ubuntu terminal ?
Take a look at lsof man page. I found:
[sudo] lsof -i TCP
After starting an HTTP server process a couple of times, I get this error like an instance of Go has not stopped!?
listen tcp :9000: bind: address already in use
I have experienced something like this with Node.js too, but I was able to kill the process.. Unfortunately it seems like I can't find the process id and kill it..
How can I "free" the TCP port?
If you are on Unix-like system, you can use netstat to find out which process is listening on a port:
sudo netstat -nlp | grep 9000
It turns out the -p option is not available on OS X. If you are using OS X, you can do this:
lsof -n -i4TCP:$PORT | grep LISTEN
Who is listening on a given TCP port on Mac OS X?
I encounted a problem today:
When I started HDP docker container, an error occured:
listen tcp 0.0.0.0:8086: bind: address already in use
According to error message, I know that port 8086 was already in use, so I tried some commands to determine which program was using port 8086.
lsof -i:8086
lsof -i tcp:8086
lsof | grep 8086
But all of commands above make no outputs!
I felt really confused about that, after some searching on google, I tried another command:
netstat -pna | grep 8086
I got correct output from this command.
I know some differences between lsof and netstat, but I really do not know why I cannot get any output from lsof -i:8086?.
Here are some differences between two commands I searched from google:
netstat(net statistic) is connection based,it shows NW connections (udp/tcp ports), routing tables, interface, multi-cast membership, etc.
lsof(list of open files) is application based, this is kind of like netstat + ps, there you can see all accessed ports, NW connections, etc.
but lsof includes stuff like my local emacs window terminal session (tty dev/pts/n) which is not part of netstat
I faced a similar issue today. The solution was to run the lsof command with sudo privileges.
sudo lsof -i:8086
should print the desired output.
LSOF: List of Open Files. It lists all the open files belonging to all active processes.
Examples:
sudo lsof -n -i
sudo lsof -n -i4
sudo lsof -n -i :80
-n inhibits the conversion of network numbers to host names for network files. Inhibiting conversion may make lsof run faster. It is also useful when host
lookup is not working properly
-i selects the listing of files any of whose Internet address matches the address specified in i. If no address is specified, this option selects the listing of all Internet and x.25 (HP-UX) network files. If -i4 or -i6 is specified with no following address, only files of the indicated IP version, IPv4 or IPv6, are displayed.
NETSTAT: It is a tool to get the network statistics. By default, netstat displays a list of open sockets. If you don't specify any
address families, then the active sockets of all configured address
families will be printed.
Displays the kernel routing tables:
netstat -r
Display all listening and established connection for both TCP and UDP with PID data:
netstat -plunt
Additionally, You have another command line tool to use which is SS.
SS: It is used to dump socket statistics. It allows showing information similar to netstat. It can display more TCP and state
information than other tools.
-plunt gives data for the TCP and UDP connections which are established and listening with process information:
sudo ss -plunt
You should be root to get proper answers to your lsof questions. Your command is fine, assuming something really is listening on that port.
As you already mentioned, lsof is a very useful command which is used to list files opened by a specific process, while netstat is a tool for monitoring network connections.
You should be able to find the PID of the process listening on port 8086 with netstat:
netstat -tunlp |grep :8086
and then use lsof to list the files used by the process:
lsof -p PID
I'm beginner with openhab, after launching the server /etc/init.d/openhab2 start i got that [ ok ] Starting openhab2 (via systemctl): openhab2.service, but I still have no access to the platform via http://localhost:8080/
I want to know :
which process is using port 8080
which port openhab runs on
thanks
you can use lsof,
lsof | grep TCP | grep 8080 and lsof | grep openhab | grep TCP
if a process forks and the child process is the one that is using a port it may not work as expected
I am running CentOS 5 with csf firewall. I'm running a program that can't connect to another server (using some port that is blocked by csf I presume). Where is the log file for 'ports'?
Netstat is the command to use to get ports and network activity. To diagonise server processes I usually use:
netstat -tln
This yields port numbers in tcp mode listening. To identify associated processes you can also use -p to grab the pid. Here is the IANA ports list.
I found my answer right after searching a few more threads.
# tail -f /var/log/messages
Shows the UDP message but not the port.... Hmm....
