  • 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.*$' -nP flags are optional and UDP is irrelevant for established connections Similar but using the process id: lsof -nP -p PID | egrep -o '(TCP|UDP).*$' Show Sample Output
