Determining clients IP address by service and PID
Search Keys: networkAttached is a simple program that you may add to your collection of stuff for OSR5. I wrote this thing several years ago for use with a program where I needed to know a client's IP address, given the TCP service on which they were connected and the program's PID (to differentiate when more than one session was open on the same service). I recently cleaned it up so it could be used from the command line.
The command line syntax is:
getrip <service> <PID>
where <service> is a TCP service defined in /etc/services (port numbers will not work) and <PID> is the process ID of a program that is serving a client attached to >service>. If both <service> and <PID> are found to be attached together, getrip will print the remote client's IP address to STDOUT and return 0 to the caller. Otherwise, getrip will return 1 to the caller and print suitable diagnostics to STDERR.
Example:
getrip telnet 12345
A copyright statement will be displayed if you type what getrip. Invoking getrip with no arguments will display some help. Recommended perms are 755 and ownership should be bin:bin. The lsof utility must be present on the system and accessible in the execution environment.

That code should work on any Unix/Linux that has lsof (most modern Unixes do) and since it is basically just parsing lsof's output, you could easily rewrite it in sh or perl or almost anything..

"...you could easily rewrite it in sh or perl..."
You could, but writing in C gives you many opportunities to decipher the cryptic diagnostics that the compiler belches out when you screw up. <Grin> Besides, if I don't write something in C now and then, I'll forget how to do it and might end up having to resort to using Visual Basic.
Anyhow, eventually I'll get around to writing getrip so it doesn't requires lsof -- just as soon as I get about 500 other programming projects out of the way. Would you believe one of them is for the Commodore 64? Which speaking of diagnostics, watching the 6502 assembler cough its cookies when it hits some bad source code is really entertaining...
