Hi Fuad,

try the following.

#fuser -cu /

this will give you the process ID and the corresponding user.

after this you can do
#ps -ef|grep to find the process details.

Syam

Thanks Syam,

I know this command, but it does not help, as I have to run the command on every FS to see which processes are used. I want the reverse, giving process name/id, and get the FS used.

Hi,

You need lsof:

This does exactly what you require.

You can also get this information with Glance.

If you are using the character mode glance, you do a F (capital F), enter the PID number and you see all open files for that process.

If you are using the GUI version, you go to Report -> Process List. Then in the process list window you select the process you want and then go to Reports -> Open Files and you will then see all open files for the process.

Hi,

have a look at "lsof -p" or else use Glance.

lsof lsof lsof .... thats it

lsof -p # Will show all the open files by that process

Thanks to all for support, I have used Glance, which gives me the required details. But, I wonder, why lsof command is not defined in the system.

hi,

lsof is not a standard hpux tool. You'll need to download & install it.

Faud,

In addition to using glance and lsof to show you the processes that are using a filesystem, the command fuer will do the same.

On files, running fuser -u will show the processes and the owner that are using the file. On a filesystem, running fuser -cu will show which processes with the owner are using the file system.

Cheers,

Joseph.
