Finding a connection using ps

[mrbernsca]

Hi,

I am currently using ps aux | grep id (where id is a user that is connecting).

I can find that a user id is connecting multiple times over and over and bogging down the server; however, how can I find out where this connection is coming from? It might be a PC or another application but I cannot seem to narrow it down.

Please assist.

Thx

I don't have a machine next to me but i think you can find this using the who command!

If the user is connected through an application using the same user ID then you might consider using netstat -a to view all the connections!

Well the ps command might do it but it seems to truncate the output ... ps aux | grep id but the output is cut off .... any suggestions?

you are right on ps auxww unfortunately it does not provide me more info other then the fact it is a Oracle connection ... using the netstat -a looks like i get some truncated output as well ...

I get this ricardo connection but I am not sure what that means if it is a user / process / known thing?

Try the "last" command
