I want inetd to run a script when a socket service is connected. The script will log the start of the connection, run 
the service, and then log the end of the connection, like this:

logger start service
service args
logger end service

I would like to include the IP address of the other end of the socket in the log entry. What might be a simple way to 
extract this information from stdin when this script is run? Right now I am doing something like

who=netstat -a | grep service

This works, but I was wondering if there was something I could do, perhaps in C, that would do something similar and 
cleaner.

Thanks,

Kevin
