Contents

How do I get a list of users logged onto a server?

Press the Windows logo key + R simultaneously to open the Run box. Type cmd and press Enter. When the Command Prompt window opens, type query user and press Enter. It will list all users that are currently logged on your computer.

How can I see open connections in Linux?

You can use netstat command, which prints network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships, etc. Another (and suggested) option is to use the lsof command, which lists open files, and ports on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and other Unixish systems.
