[TriLUG] Learning Linux -- and Netstat

[John Vaughters]

JC,

What you are seeing is Unix sockets that are being used by your system to communicate internally. If you want to see TCP/UDP sockets, use

netstat -tup 

netstat -tupl  (for listening only sockets)

netstat -tupln (for listening only sockets without name resolution and my personal favorite for troubleshooting tcp services)

If you want to understand the unix sockets, it is a pretty good read and you can find the info on the internet in great quantities.

All,

I try to learn something new about computers & Linux each day. Today I
am attempting to understand the information I receive when I do a
simple netstat . O/S is Ubuntu 12.04

I get about 400 lines that are all similar to this:

unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     56236    @/tmp/dbus-4VS955FsEG

Where can I go to find out what this means and why I have about 400
lines of this?
