file access

[Stephen Badgett]

How can I check who is accessing a file in HP-UX?

[Steven E. Protter]

fuser -cu /filesystem_name

root only.

Hi,

The 'fuser' command will show which process has a file open. Glance and lsof will also provide more information.

If you need this information to be gathered over a period of time rather than simply just a snapshot of 'now' then you really need to download and install Tripwire. It can be configured to look at specific files.

Hi,

Go for a tool like lsof,

Hope this helps,

This is very helpful

I'd definitely go for a tool like lsof to give you exactly which files are accessed by a user/process

/usr/sbin/fuser -u /dev/ttyd2a2 -- perfect (:
