[SOLVED] network port

cdijack · 08-15-2013, 05:17 PM

Hi. Beeing new to Linux, I need to find out what is associated to a particular port (say 10000). Which command will tell me?
Thank you

Greetings,

Well, if it's one of the standard IANA-assigned ports, you can simply do:

Code:

 ~ $ less /etc/services

which from my current file says it isn't currently assigned:

Code:

...<snip>...
sctp-tunneling  9899/tcp                        # SCTP TUNNELING
sctp-tunneling  9899/udp
domaintime      9909/tcp                        # domaintime
domaintime      9909/udp
amanda          10080/tcp                       # amanda backup services
amanda          10080/udp 
...<snip>...

HTH. Let us know.

You can find a complete list of well-known ports here too, if you don't happen to be on a linux machine with a local file copy

If you need to know, which programm or service is currently using a certain port on your machine you can use

Code:

netstat --tcp --udp --listening --program | grep <port number>
