Desc. as follows. +++ Lsof (LiSt Open Files) lists information about files that are open by the running processes. An open file may be a regular file, a directory, a block special file, a character special file, an executing text reference, a library, a stream or a network file (Internet socket, NFS file or Unix domain socket). See also fstat(1) in the base system. WWW: http://people.freebsd.org/~abe/ +++ I have only recently installed it, not a clue as to how to use it, however. BTW, if Mr. Nelson is considered "Junior Kernel Hacker", I qualify as "Senior Keyboard Drooler". AKA, take my advice with a grain of salt. __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
