There use to be a thread on here but because of the wht hack, it didn't get saved...so now I can't go back to it. It was a command in ssh that printed out a number of connections. Like 12,000 or something. Anyone know the command?

try: netstat -plan|grep :80|awk {'print $5'}|cut -d: -f 1|sort|uniq -c|sort -nk 1

nope that wasn't the one. It just prints out the total connections instead of individual ip's.

I think you're looking for this one.

netstat -anp |grep "tcp\|udp"|wc -l ; will print the total number of TCP/UDP connections to your server. Say, if you want to know the no: of connections to any certain service like 'http' use: netstat -apn | grep :80 |wc -l
