How do I know what services I have running?
To get a list of all running processes, enter the command “ps auxw”. You might also want to try using “ps auxf” (or “ps auxfw” if the lines get truncated) – this prints everything in a nice tree format that may give you a better understanding of how and why things are running.
To get a complete listing of all listening network services using netstat, enter: netstat -altpu
You can also get similar information using lsof by entering: lsof -i | egrep -i ‘LISTEN|UDP’
