Hi Clutier,

Lsof is a great tool to list open files, you can download the depot software at the HPUX porting centre,

Hope this helps,

You can use 'lsof' if you wish, but you should be able to use the 'fuser' tool as well to find what process has the file open.

$ fuser /mydir/my.dbf

Hi

Lsof will be greatly useful for you.

Some commands example:

# lsof -c
# lsof -u
# lsof -u

Also used to find socket/ports:

# lsof -i tcp:23
# lsof -i udp:123

Hope it helps
