Show HN: Somo – a human friendly alternative to netstat

[ale42]

Is there an option to disable the table mode (or at least horizontal lines, don't care about the others)? It's a lot of wasted space in the terminal if you have lots of connections open.

somo | grep -v ─

i’ve typed netstat -pna so many times in my life using something else would totally ruin me

[spapas82]

I use netstat -nap instead !

[mekster]

How is it possible to live without aliases? Typing the original command every time, even though history lookup may help, would totally ruin me.

I have `netstat -lntpu` aliased as `nst`. (Along with `s` as `sudo`.)

In Arch https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=somo

Hey, not sure how this usually works with arch but I (the maintainer) didn't create that package but it definitely is based on this somo. Why would someone else register a package by someone else? Only bad reasons come to my mind but I don't know how things are on AUR...

Very nice. I constantly struggle to remember the correct parameters to netstat and this seems to return the information that I need in 90% of my use cases.

[hollow64]

glad you like it :)

Not that `ss` from iproute2 is a newer alternitive to `netstat`. (The common cli flags are the same though, so not better in that regard.)

Rust S2

I find the output of `ss` very hard to read in comparison to netstat.

[at0mic22]

Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it

[Zekio]

Readme only mentions linux, so why bother mentioning Mac OS?

[insane_dreamer]

The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.

sorry for the confusion about the macos like screenshot, I changed it to look more like Ubuntu
