You can use



netstat -pnlt | grep ':portno'


another option , you can use nmap tool for checking open ports on the server



nmap -sT -O localhost


Output



Starting nmap 3.55 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-09-24 13:49 EDT
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
(The 1653 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
111/tcp open rpcbind
Device type: general purpose


Netstat Example :



[root@krizna ~]# netstat -pnlt | grep ':80'
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1164/httpd

  • Check the netstat example part, port :::80 is shown under local address which is LISTENING ( i mean open ).

  • It is worth mentioning that the grep ':portno' may also pick up some IPv6 addresses that happen to contain that sequence. That can be a problem if you try to use this command in a script.

  • This is listing all ports, and then grep for listening ports. Instead it should just show the listening ports with -l instead of -a. And the question was not only about tcp ports so the -t option shouldn't be there.
