Process Tracking

[goughie]

Hi all, sorry not a AIX user but have a (hopefully) quick question:

Is it possible to run a script that will tell me what user/s (or IP/s) originated a request to start a process on a AIX server (v5.3).

E.g If I have a server based app, which runs all client connections under a process name abcd123.exe, can I list all the IP's that hold connections to these processes?

Many Thanks!

How do the clients connect to the server? Do they use a specific port? If so you can use netstat -an | grep Port# to see which IP's are connected to that port.

If you have the local port number(s), then with lsof you can also get info:

lsof -i :nnnn

for example:

# lsof -i :33786
COMMAND   PID    USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE  SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
dtwm    41352 user01     5u  IPv4 0x7064dadc 0t4166420  TCP server1:33786->ws101:6000 (ESTABLISHED)

or use

lsof -ni :nnnn

if you don't want any address/name lookups - probably faster anyway.

HTH,
