Re: File table full
Also you could use lsof, you would need to get that from the hp porting site.
Good Luck,

Re: File table full
you can use glanceplus for that.
You can also use "lsof". Here is the "lsof" faq,
ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/FAQ
and you can get it from this site,
http://www-rcd.cc.purdue.edu/~abe/
Hope this helps.

SolutionIf you want to see what files are open by which processes, the best bet is to download and install lsof.

Re: File table full
I meant to say, you can use glance, not you can glance.

Re: File table full
To fix the file table full message by tuning the "nfile" kernel parameter. Here is a thread on "nfile"
http://docs.hp.com//hpux/onlinedocs/os/11i/kcparams/KCparam.Nfile.html
Here is the complete list of kernel parameters,
http://docs.hp.com//hpux/onlinedocs/os/11i/kcparams/KCparams.OverviewAll.html
Hope this helps.

Re: File table full
BTW, with glance I can see open file(s) per process, and this has to be done by checking the system table for each and every process. When I get a 'File table full' message, I need to be able to quickly see which process has the most open files.
The nfile param is at 6000, and I'm not ready yet to reboot:)
Cheers,
Leslie

Re: File table full
Now this may be by design (although sysadmins will question the sanity of a program that tries to open 1,000 fioles at the same time) in which case, nfile may have to be set to 20,000 or even 50,000 if many copies of the program mustrun at the same time.
maxfiles is a per-process limit and can be overridden programatically using setrlimit, or prior to running a specific process (for example in a script) by using the ulimit command (POSIX shell).
If you have thousands of processes running (and the majority are normal and necessary) then a nuber of kernel parameters will have to be *significantly* increased, perhaps 5x to 10x larger.
