Re: [PLUG] File detector utility


Slackware 7 comes with a utility called 'lsof' that will list all open
files on the system, what program has them open etc. Dunno if other
distros ship with it but a google search should track it down for you. If
you can't find it just give me a shout and I'll send it to you.
