How I can know the files opens ?? (nfile)

[Carme Torca]

Hi,

Is there any way to know what files are openned??, for example I can do:

# sar -v 1 5

HP-UX hp9sap01 B.11.00 U 9000/800 10/14/03

17:50:12 text-sz ov proc-sz ov inod-sz ov file-sz ov
17:50:13 N/A N/A 400/4224 0 3945/24576 0 17627/24586 0
17:50:14 N/A N/A 402/4224 0 3957/24576 0 17632/24586 0
17:50:15 N/A N/A 409/4224 0 3967/24576 0 17646/24586 0
17:50:16 N/A N/A 410/4224 0 3976/24576 0 17656/24586 0
17:50:17 N/A N/A 401/4224 0 3978/24576 0 17630/24586 0


but is there any way to know what files are openned last of the 17680 files opened??? or what process is spend all this opened files??

Thanks!!!
Carmen.

fuser -cu /filesystem will get you the process id's but you need a third party tool like lsof to get more details on what the filenames are.

If you want to know the names of the files open and what processes have those open, you need lsof.

I belive this available on the ports archive.

[Massimo Bianchi]

nfile can be monitored with glance, if i remember well.

If you want to know which process what files holds, the use lsof as suggested.

SEP, as usual, offers you sound advice. I refer to the part of your question asking if you can tell which was the last file opened. I think I can safely say that you just can't do that, particularly as files are being opened and closed all the time on a running system.

HI,


I have try to down lsof from this page but its only for 32 bits and I have a system HP-UX 11.00 64 bits.... Is there other wayt to down it for 64 bits??

Thanks!!
Carmen.

[Brian Bergstrand]

32 bit programs will work fine on 64bit OS's, just not the other way around. Go ahead and use it.

[Rodney Hills]

Attached is a "shar" file with the 64-bit version of lsof.

Enjoy

For the most part, Brian is correct, but "lsof" is one of those kernel dependant
programs that has to be compiled to the target system

Hi,

I have unshar the file, and it shows error:
(my server its 11.00 no 11.11)

f# /usr/local/bin/lsof
lsof: WARNING: compiled for HP-UX release B.11.11; this is B.11.00.
lsof: FATAL: pst_status_size should be: 1176; is 920

lsof: FATAL: pst_static doesn't contain pst_mpathnode_size
lsof: FATAL: pst_static doesn't contain pst_fileinfo2_size

and the other link... I don't know how installed it?, maybe I have to compile it?

Thanks!!
Carmen.

Go to the porting and archive center. Do a search on "lsof" and that version is 64-bit hpux11.00

Or try

http://the-other.wiretapped.net/security/host-security/lsof/binaries/hpux/B.11.00/vxfs/64/9000_800/

I'm note sure about the porting and archive (if it's 32 or 64 bit). But I think the above link is 64 bit.
