Best Answer
"In use" as in with an active connection, or that programs are listening on? Or both?
Run
sudo netstat -lpin your terminal; this will tell you what ports are open to receive connections, and what programs are listening on them. Trysudo netstat -pfor the same thing, plus currently-active connections.
