what's the pfile equivalent in HP

[Ravikumar_palaniappan]

I am looking for files opened by a process. How to get this in HP OS.

Please suggest the command in HP like pfile in Sun OS

Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi:

I think you are looking for 'tusc' and/or 'lsof'. Download and install it from the HP-UX porting Centre:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/tusc-8.0/

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.83/

Neither installation requires a reboot and both are done with 'swinstall'.

Regards!

On 11.31 the command is pfiles(1).

Hi Ravi,
lsof lists all the open files by the processes. It includes devices, sockets, open files and pipes.

lsof is available for all hpux flavors. Install it in your system. Regarding the usage,

Execute lsof to list all the open files by all the processes running in your system.

To monitor all the open files by specific process say of process id 17654, execute

lsof -p 17654
