find what dead process was

Vic S. Kelan — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 14:36:35 GMT

Is there anyway to find what process previously owned a now dead process id?

i get this in my tuxedo ULOG:
WARN: Process 13021 died; removing from BB

Am trying to figure out what process that was, any ideas please?

I know this is not what you want to hear/read but unless you are logging the output of your "ps -ef" command somewhere periodically, or using some commercial tool to do this as a part of its function, there is no surefire way of obtaining that information that I know of.

One thing you can check is the syslog. If it was a daemon like ftpd or telnetd, and you have inetd logging enabled, it might have gotten recorded in the syslog. search the PID in syslog using grep. You may be lucky.
