netat question
 

We have sun solaris server v440 and when we do netat -a | wc , it takes more than 5 minutes to complete. Do you think its a network problem or server load issue?

netat?? you mean netstat? I'd guess at a DNS issue, try -an instead of -a to not do reverse lookups.

Yes, I have tried with netstat -a and taking so long to completed. There are more than 300 sockets connected. That could be the reason?

Hi,

acid_kewpie already pointed out that you should/could use netstat -an

The n option tells netstat not to do a lookup of the ip numbers, which makes the command a lot faster, but the output will show ip numbers and not names. I.e: 75.126.162.205 instead of www.linuxquestions.org.
