Topic: Update MLMMJ Document for RHEL/CentOS to use SS instead of NETSTAT

============ REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.8
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  RHEL / CentOS 7
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): NGINX
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? 3.1
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Recommended update for documentation https://docs.iredmail.org/integration.mlmmj.ldap.html

In the section : Setup mlmmjadmin: RESTful API server used to manage mlmmj mailing lists

At the end, the command to verify that port 7790, the command :
"netstat -ntlp | grep 7790"
will return "command not found" on minimal installs of CentOS 7

The command to run, without having to install any additional packages would be :
"ss -ntlp | grep 7790"
This will work with all installs of CentOS 7

Recommend that the documentation to reflect this.

In CentOS 7, the "net-tools" package has been depricated in favour of the iproute2 suite. The net-tools suite has not been in active development in years (they just do bug fixes), whereas the iproute2 package is in active development. Furthermore, net-tools has limitations which can't be fixed any more. As such, it is not installed by default on all install types (minimal installs do not  include it as it is reduntant to have both net-tools and iproute2 installed). The equivalent command to netstat which is installed by default is "ss" (Socket Statistics). (Read all about it at : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119297)
