A few comments to what has already been posted: pfiles It is true that you can find the same information as what lsof is producing by using a script that uses the Solaris 'pfiles' command. One such example is "PCP" (http://www.unix.ms/pcp/). I have to warn against this. [i]pfiles will stop the process while it is being investigated. Many processes will not like this[/i]. I've screwed up quite a few daemons by executing a 'pfiles' against them while they were running. Bottom line: pfiles is not a solution to the problem on a production system. Period !
lsof. Yes, lsof exists for Solaris and you can get pre-compiled binary for example from www.sunfreeware.com. However (1) It does not work inside a zone (2) it is not stable because it is written against parts of Solaris that are undocumented/evolving/unsupported. Personally I can live with (2), but not with (1) because these days just about everything on Solaris is running inside a zone (at least when you are talking servers in corporate landscape). So unless any of the Dtrace probes will eventually come up with something that can generate this information then I do not see any way forward for Solaris on this one. Solaris needs a solution for this. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list dtrace-discuss@opensolaris.org
