This one I figured out. You have to exec a "ps -awwx" (Yes, you
have to use w twice.) and look for the command:
Or ps -aux? Can you run a shell script? Then you could pipe the stuff
through grep and get back only the process you're looking for or
nothing if not there. Still pretty skanky but it is sort of OS
specific runtime stuff.
I'm trying to figure out how to do something similar from a shell
script at the moment. I want to get the pid for 'snort' to kill it
when I stop ppp dialup. Something is hanging up ppp on disconnecting
sometimes and snort is my current suspect since it's a recent
addition to things I'm playing with. I'd like to stop it when my ip-
down script runs. I run that to manage the ipfw firewall stuff myself.
Completely off-topic but I notice in in the ipfw firewall logging
that at times I'm getting a lot of 'accepts' on connections coming
from port 80 and trying to connect to ports in the 49### range.
Google didn't turn up anything seeming real connected. I tried
running my java port scanner from "Java Network Programming" to see
if I actually have any ports in that range but that ended up knocking
down ppp (which hung up on disconnecting taking me back to square
one). Judging from console messages maybe it was pumping through too
many connection requests too fast and then ppp just decided to take a
nap. (nmap did run but showed no 'interesting' ports in the 49K range).
Any ideas on what these mysterious 80->49K connections are that my
firewall is currently accepting?
