It's bothering myself and one of my users how we can determine the sockets NOT in /etc/services that are in use. ie. we've got (in house) software that many developers are running, who need their own socket.<br />
<br />
We need to be able to avoid clashing socket numbers...<br />
<br />
What's the damn command to list them...? Is there one...

Determining sockets in use

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
