Another tool to explore is lsof. To list unix sockets use:
lsof -U

COMMAND     PID            USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF     NODE NAME
init          1            root    7u  unix 0xf6854480      0t0
7889 @/com/ubuntu/upstart
init          1            root    8u  unix 0xf6857840      0t0     9061 socket
