Yeh, with previous versions of solaris, the cleanest way short of developing a script, is to use:<br />
lsof -i:portnumber<br />
<br />
so to check for PIDs associated with ssh (assuming you're running it on the default port):<br />
lsof -i:22

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.
