I dumped the 'lsof | grep "NAME\|3202"' into a file once I realized that most of the lines of output were some form of .so file or .jar file. I then used vim to eliminate those lines. Now I just have 26 lines left to look at. I think it's safe to ignore the two directories. But beyond that, I'm not sure what it might be. Some of it I don't even know how to look at, like pipes and sockets. I'll see if I can trim the lines down some to reduce wrapping and paste it below. Every line has "mozilla-b" under "COMMAND", "3202" under "PID", and "rafael" under "USER".

And no joy on those three either. The first is all binary. And the other two do not have what I'm looking for.

And the rest of it, I have *no* ideas on how to view the contents. Anyone? I'm thinking that it might be easier to send Mozilla's email composer a save signal. If I can do that, I can get the contents from the drafts file. Anyone know how to do that? (I can start an X session as a different user allowing me to run a different instance of Mozilla for testing.) ---- Msg sent via CWNet - http://www.cwnet.com/ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
