Hmmm... how about this:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `ps -e -o cmd= | cut -d \ -f 1 | sed -e "/^[\[-]/d" | less`;
do
fn=`which $i`
if [ -n "$fn" ]; then
ld=`ldd $fn 2>/dev/null | grep -i $1`
if [ -n "$ld" ]; then
echo "running process $fn uses $1"
fi
fi
done
This little bash script takes as its only argument whatever library you
request, e.g.:
whatuses orbit
(note that it is not case-sensitive)
would return all currently running gnome programs that use libORBit
