shell – List open SSH tunnels – via: Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/29

I put an lsof example and output in Reverse ssh tunnel between two linux boxes to allow RDP traffic over port 3389, but forgot to explain it.

Note that if you are bumping into remote tunneling issues selecting the wrong network interface, then checkout the GatewayPorts setting in the above post first!

Inactive local tunnels on the client: find the first word ssh on lsof output.

$ lsof -i -n | grep -w '^\<ssh\>'
ssh       93548 jeroenp    3u  IPv4 0x298985ab430c8aa9      0t0  TCP 192.168.71.77:50257->80.101.239.92:30022 (ESTABLISHED)
ssh       93548 jeroenp    5u  IPv6 0x298985ab22e02df9      0t0  TCP [::1]:59124 (LISTEN)
ssh       93548 jeroenp    6u  IPv4 0x298985ab272543a1      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:59124 (LISTEN)
ssh       93548 jeroenp    7u  IPv6 0x298985ab22e03339      0t0  TCP [::1]:ms-wbt-server (LISTEN)
ssh       93548 jeroenp    8u  IPv4 0x298985ab4306eaa9      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:ms-wbt-server (LISTEN)
ssh       93548 jeroenp    9u  IPv6 0x298985ab28049339      0t0  TCP [::1]:5925 (LISTEN)
ssh       93548 jeroenp   10u  IPv4 0x298985ab25cefe89      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:5925 (LISTEN)

The above listens two tunnels listening to ports 59124, 3389 (ms-wbt-server) and 5925.

Remote tunnels on the server: find the first word sshd on lsof output. Needs sudo if sshd runs as daemon or to listen active connections:

$ sudo lsof -i -n | grep -w '^\<sshd\>'
sshd       1664     root    3u  IPv4   21299      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
sshd       1664     root    4u  IPv6   21301      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
sshd       5026     root    3u  IPv4  350758      0t0  TCP 192.168.124.32:ssh->192.168.171.24:52417 (ESTABLISHED)

sshd       5120     root    3u  IPv4 6693665      0t0  TCP 192.168.124.32:ssh->80.100.143.119:11585 (ESTABLISHED)

sshd      13323  jeroenp    3u  IPv4 6319692      0t0  TCP 192.168.124.32:ssh->192.168.171.24:56801 (ESTABLISHED)
sshd      16505     root    3u  IPv4 6374150      0t0  TCP 192.168.124.32:ssh->192.168.171.24:21505 (ESTABLISHED)
sshd      16508  jeroenp    3u  IPv4 6374150      0t0  TCP 192.168.124.32:ssh->192.168.171.24:21505 (ESTABLISHED)

The above does not list any tunnels, just regular connections as there were no local tunnels from the client active, which lists the server side of tunnel -L 59124:192.168.124.32:5900 (which is service rfb):

$ sudo lsof -i -n | grep -w '^\<sshd\>'

sshd       1664     root    3u  IPv4   21299      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
sshd       1664     root    4u  IPv6   21301      0t0  TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)

For the client side of active connections you need sudo too:

$ sudo lsof -i -n | grep -w '^\<ssh\>'
Password:

Audacity error when starting “The application “Audacity.app” can’t be opened.”

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/29

For quite a while, I had the error “The application “Audacity.app” can’t be opened.” and Audacity still opening. Clicking the OK button often enough made me hunt for the solution:

This is what I did:

$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/audacity
$ grep Temp audacity.cfg
TempDir=/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/SessionData

Then I checked if the directory existed:

$ find ~/Library/Application\ Support/audacity -type d
/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity
/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/AutoSave
/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins
/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/SessionData

The odd thing is the directory already existed, so I decided to delete the line, but first needed sed -n (the -n is important: it list only non-matching lines to stdout, see [WayBack] regex – What actually the meaning of “-n” in sed? – Stack Overflow):

$ sed -n '/^TempDir=/p' ~/Library/Application\ Support/audacity/audacity.cfg
TempDir=/Users/jeroenp/Library/Application Support/audacity/SessionData

Since this is Mac OS/Mac OS X/OS X, the -i parameter requires a string even if it is an empty [WayBack] shell – Delete lines in a text file that contain a specific string – Stack Overflow so we get:

$ sed -i '' -n '/^TempDir=/d' ~/Library/Application\ Support/audacity/audacity.cfg

After that, starting audacity still gave the same error and the TempDir entry was re-added.

So I did this:

  1. renamed the audacity directory to audacity.bad,
  2. recreated an empty audacity directory
  3. created empty subdirectories AutoSave, Plug-Ins, SessionData
  4. looped this loop
    1. Start Audacity
    2. On success copy a missing file in the audacity directory tree from the audacity.bad directory tree

In the end, these files were the cause:

  • pluginregistry.cfg
  • pluginsettings.cfg

Since I wasn’t using any plugins, I removed them. Now audacity starts fine.

Now that I had the files pinpointed, I could refine the search and this seems to be a common problem [WayBack] FAQ:Installation, Startup and Plug-ins – Audacity Development Manual: How can I solve Audacity not appearing or crashing on launch, or crashing after I add a plug-in?.

Too bad that page didn’t show up in the original search results.
