How do I check if OpenSSH is running?
Run sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :22' on the server to check for listening processes on these ports. Also use systemctl status <service> to check the service state. Without root you may not see other users' processes. A listening port alone does not prove the software identity — verify with the config file and process name.
