As a freelance SysAdmin/Developer I need to get/update existing app/web on the client server. Sometime I need to update existing NodeJS app that I don't know the port or the path.
If I want to know the port, I can do easily by find apache2/PHP app config using apache2ctl -S command. But it's difficult to find the nodeJS app path even I know the port.
Usually the node app is running using pm2. pm list only show list of processes name/command like below:
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~# pm2 list

Usually I need to look up using pm2 show command for each pm2 process to find the app path then got to the path and find the port on .env/config file. It's very take a long time if there are so many processes. Is any faster way to see list of running nodejs app with the port and path?
I tried commands from this question answer but not returned path or process name like below:
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~# ss -tnlp | grep "node /"
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:6030 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node /var/www/v",pid=26000,fd=25))
LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:6031 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node /var/www/a",pid=26006,fd=25))
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:6039 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node /var/www/a",pid=26013,fd=25))
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~#
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~# ss -ntlp | grep $(pm2 ls | grep "SITENAME" | awk '{print $10}') | awk '{print $4}'
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
ss -lntp | grep node command show all port but it gives wrong path (maybe cutted/substr).
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~# ss -lntp | grep node
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:6030 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node /var/www/v",pid=26000,fd=25))
LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:6031 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node /var/www/a",pid=26006,fd=25))
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:6039 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node /var/www/a",pid=26013,fd=25))
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:3001 0.0.0.0:* users:(("node",pid=29886,fd=24))
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~# cd /var/www/a
-bash: cd: /var/www/a: No such file or directory
I need list of port and path(or atleast pm2 process name).
I just learn some Linux commands to make this:
ss without sorting (not recommended)Step 1 - Get the PIDs
ss -lntp | grep node | cut -d "=" -f2 - | cut -d "," -f 1 - > pids.txt
Explanation:
ss -lntp will print the list of Socket Statistics.grep node will print only node process/sockets.cut -d "=" -f2 - will cut the output of command #2 using = as the delimiter and get the second column (-f2). example result is 26000,fdcut -d "," -f 1 - to remove ,fd from command #3 and will cut the output of step #2 using , as the delimiter and get the first column (-f1). example result is 26000> pids.txt to save the output to pids.txt file.Step 2 - Get the Ports
ss -lntp | grep node | awk '{ print $4 }' > ports.txt
Explanation:
ss -lntp will print the list of Socket Statistics.grep node will print only node process/sockets.awk '{ print $4 }' will print the fourth column, i.e. the one containing 0.0.0.0:6031> ports.txt to save the output to ports.txt file.Step 3 - Get the Paths from the PIDs
ps -eLf | grep -Fwf pids.txt | awk '!x[$2]++' | awk '{ print $11 }' > proc.txt
Explanation:
ps -eLf will print the list of Process status.grep -Fwf pids.txt will print only pid/process number from pids.txt.(but its still have so many duplicate main process)awk '!x[$2]++' will filter only unique pid number only. the pid number is on 2nd column so use $2awk '{ print $11 }' will print only 11th column. the path is on 11th column so use $11> proc.txt to save the output to proc.txt file.Step 4 - Show list merged paths, ports and processes
paste -d" " proc.txt ports.txt pids.txt
example output(same server as my question)
root@lamp-s-4vcpu-8gb-sgp1-01:~# paste -d" " proc.txt ports.txt pids.txt
/var/www/******/dist/index.js 127.0.0.1:6030 26000
/var/www/api-****-id/dist/index.js 0.0.0.0:6031 26006
/var/www/api.****.com/dist/index.js 127.0.0.1:6039 26013
/var/www/***-nuxt/node_modules/.bin/nuxt 127.0.0.1:3001 29886
can be simply to a line:
ss -lntp | grep node | cut -d "=" -f 2 - | cut -d "," -f 1 - > pids.txt && ss -lntp | grep node | awk '{ print $4 }' > ports.txt && ps -eLf | grep -Fwf pids.txt | awk '!x[$2]++' | awk '{ print $11 }' > proc.txt && paste -d" " proc.txt ports.txt pids.txt
Maybe above commands can be improved, because I just learn today some commands like ss, sort, paste, cut, awk and ps
Above method work fine if list of pids from ss command is ascending sequence. But after try on another server above commands sometime does not work properly because the pids and path position can be swapped. So I tried to find out another way using sort like below:.
netstat with PID sorting (recommended)Step 1 - Get the PIDs
netstat -lntp | grep node | sort -k 7,7 | awk '{ print $7 }' | cut -d "/" -f 1 - > pids.txt
Step 2 - Get the Ports
netstat -lntp | grep node | sort -k 7,7 | awk '{ print $4 }' > ports.txt
Step 3 - Get the Paths from the PIDs
ps -eLf | grep -Fwf pids.txt | awk '!x[$2]++' | sort -k 2,2 | awk '{ print $11 }' > proc.txt
Step 4 - Show list merged paths, ports and processes
paste -d" " proc.txt ports.txt pids.txt
