Hi,

a good utility for listening open files is:
lsof
You can get it here:

No command is standard. However, lsof can do it :-

I believe there maybe 2 contenders : HP's glance has example adviser scripts which will help print this info out or you can just use the GUI to view them : it comes with a 60 day trial license on the application CD's.

Or you can use a utility called lsof (list open files) downloaded from many academic ftp sites etc... just run a quick search on the web ...you should find lots of links to get the binaries .

Hi Augusto,

I agree with Alex, try Glance Plus trial version, with this diagnostic and performance tool you see this information what you need and a lot of more, you can find it on Application cd1.
This program gives you an overview of process-level, system-level and application -level and a lot more....
The attachment give you some information about this tool.

If you just want to know the total number of open files: sar -v 1
lsof and glance will give more info on what has what open etc.

Ah -- Scott beat me to it, but he is correct.

Sar, it's an oldie but a goodie. Easy to use, easy to script.
