encode/decode HTML entities

For reverse, there's asc2xml

asc2xml < entitiesfile > utf8file

They come as a part of the html-xml-utils debian package.

PS. Tried to submit sample data, but the site autoconverted the non ascii to html entities. So a bit of imagination is needed.

Display any udp/tcp connections by process name or by process id

Where COMMAND is the process(es) name. I prefer to get all states but you may add ESTABLISHED in the grep regex.

lsof -c apache2 | egrep -o 'TCP.*ESTABLISHED.*$'

-nP flags are optional and UDP is irrelevant for established connections

Similar but using the process id:

lsof -nP -p PID | egrep -o '(TCP|UDP).*$'
