# Verifying that the Wiretap Server is Running

To verify a Wiretap server is running:

1. On the Wiretap server, open a shell and type:

   ps -ef |grep wiretap

   Example system response
   root 19579 10 May14 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/discreet/sw/sw_wiretapd
   root 19588 195790 May14 ?00:01:51 /usr/discreet/wiretap/<version_number>/ifffsWiretapServer -c /usr/discreet/wiretap/cfg/wiretapd.cfg
   root27965 277280 10:02 pts/5 00:00:00 grep wiretap

   In the above output, the line/usr/discreet/wiretap/<version_number>/ifffsWiretapServer -c /usr/discreet/wiretap/cfg/wiretapd.cfg indicates the version number of Wiretap that is running. If you do not see information similar to this, restart the Wiretap server.
