For any Unix/TCP socket types out there:

I need a way to tie an open socket to it's creating process. Netstat
doesn't seem to be the answer, as it returns only usage statistics, but
no process-specific information.

Thanks (from a VMS person -- gee, that'll really enhance my chances of
getting a response ;-)). BTW, on VMS, for any of you versed in both
OS's, you'd accomplish it with the following:

UCX> sh dev/port=1575
Port Remote
Device_socket Type Local Remote Service Host
bg4553 STREAM 1526 0 0.0.0.0

$sh dev/fu bg4553

Device BG4553:, device type unknown, is online, mounted, record-oriented
device, network device, mailbox device.

Error count 0 Operations completed 249
Owner process "ORA_TNS1F18C718" Owner UIC [MREIS]
Owner process ID 37201155 Dev Prot S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G:RWPL,W:RWPL
Reference count 1 Default buffer size 25

What is it you are exactley trying to achieve ???

If you are trying to make the socket accept connections then see the man
page on bind. This explains how to set up a socket to accept
connections.

If you are tring to monitor what the socket is receiving I'd think you'd
either have to write the code to do this or monitor the TCP/IP stack.

Good luck.

I too would like to know a general answer to this. I answered this
same question on a Linux group a couple of weeks ago but I don't think
the Linux solution is portable.
