Monitoring Port Requests for Command

Question

I have a command which I am running that starts a process listening on a port. I am currently getting the following error.

socket exception: Address already in use

The problem is, I don't know what port the process is trying to listen on. Is there a way for me to monitor what port the process is trying to access?

I would post the code, but it is unfortunately not possible. I am running Redhat.

I believe `strace` will show what you're looking for. – Nathan C Sep 04 '13 at 11:43 — Nathan C, Sep 04 '13 at 11:43

strace will show you system calls, including what ports a given process tries to use.
