Greetings All. I feel dumb as never so please enlight me. Is ther a way to find out which process is on the other end of a unix socket pointed by a specified fd in a process. Lets say that I have got a process gconfd-2. I've straced it and got: writev(25, [{"GIOP\1\2\1\0\267\1\0\0", 12},.... now I look at lsof COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME gconfd-2 2282 jdoe 25u unix 0xc55a9380 4222 socket and netstat Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node PID/Program name Path unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 4222 2282/gconfd-2 OK, fine when the gconfd-2 has written the data something's had to read it. I ask: How can I find what has read the data? Forgive me if it's trivial but I really find no way to learn it. Neither in /proc nor using some tools like above. Best regards.
