Show apps that use internet connection at the moment.

Can be used to discover what programms create internet traffic. Skip the part after awk to get more details, though it will not work showing only unique processes.

This version will work with other languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, if the word for "ESTABLISHED" still contain the fragment "STAB"(e.g. "ESTABELECIDO")

Has anyone an idea why the uniq doesn't work propperly here (see sample output)?

Know a better way?

If you can do better, submit your command here.

What others think

That should be tail -n +2 to get rid of the header.

+1 means start from the first line, which means it shows all lines.

An alternative to tail -n +2 is

sed 1d

(slightly easier to type :)
