ls -l /proc/$(pidof evolution)/fd will show you every file Evo has open (many of which are sockets) There is a way to get "live" feedback on file activity using strace, but it's fairly hackish, e.g. strace -p $(pidof evolution) --trace=desc|grep write gives a flood of info which may not be that useful without decoding. There's probably a way to use inotify to watch Evo's output, but it would require some study to get right. And of course running under a debugger is another option. > Thanks for the CTRL-L trick, I will try that (using it now!). Not a trick but the standard way to reply on lists. You can also click on the Group Reply button, which will Do The Right Thing (Ctrl-L can't always be used when the message you reply to wasn't sent via reply-to- list). poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
