So, it appears to be well known that 'ss -lxu' has been broken on some 
systems and returns nothing.  This is currently true on EL 7.2 though 
appears fixed in 7.3 beta.

However, why is -u being passed to ss in the first place?  We're doing:

my $lines=system_capture_stdout_output("ss", "-lxu");
my @lines=split("\n", "$lines");
my @outp = grep ( /(@| )\/tmp\/.X11-unix\/X.*/, @lines);
for(my $i=0;$i<@outp;$i++)
{
...

so we're filtering the output of ss for lines that look like unix 
sockets (/tmp/.X11-unix/X*), so -lx is appropriate.  But why use '-u' to 
show UDP sockets?  No X server that I know of listens on UDP and we 
certainly would filter it out anyway.
