Re: How do I find out the list of active network objects?

[Rob Davies <robdavies@worldnet.att.net>]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the explanation of the /proc/net/decnet file ... makes MUCH
more sense now! (actaully, there's some stuff I can use in there instead
of multiple instances of 'if (debug) printf("...");' !)

Is there any way to find out which network objects the listening sockets
in the /proc/net/decnet are related to ?

For instance, if I have five different programs running, each of which
bind to a different named object, and I look at the /proc/net/decnet
file, and see only four open sockets with the remote side unassigned,
how do I know WHICH of the five isn't working ... ?

Any chance we could get the related local object (name|number) back into
the format, like in Reinhard's example ? The port number doesn't mean
much to me, whereas the object name (or number if not 0) would be REALLY
useful.

Doesn't even have to be in that file ... maybe a new file with just the
open/listening ports and their associated DECnet objects?

There's no NCP support (yet ;-)), but if you have any other suggestions
on how I can find out this kind of information, that would be useful too
...


Regards,

Rob.
