Even though the **netstat **tool is depreciated, sometimes we can’t stop the old habit and we arrive at a situation where its difficult to adapt to new things.

Actually we should be using **ss **tool installed of netstat !

All common network related tools are bundled with package net-tools.

nwlab:/etc # rpm -qa | grep net-tools
net-tools-2.0+git20170221.479bb4a-lp152.5.5.x86_64

However in openSUSE 15, the team decided to knock it off from net tools package!

So, the solution ?

sudo zypper install net-tools-deprecated

nwlab:/etc # rpm -qa | grep net-tools
net-tools-deprecated-2.0+git20170221.479bb4a-lp152.5.5.x86_64

Once installed, netstat should work totally fine now !

nwlab:/etc # netstat -ano | grep 9000
tcp6 0 0 :::9000 :::* LISTEN off (0.00/0/0)
