lsof -i event based alternative
 

Hello,

I am trying to see if there is an alternative to lsof -i that is event based. I would like to be notified everytime that a socket is created and what the process (PID) is that created it.

Is there a tool that does this?

Thanks

That would be kind of expensive to do, wouldn't it? Especially for a busy server? ;)
