How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
truncatecommand that does the same thing more explicitly.procfiles -n pidinstead oflsof -p pidwill show the filename, UNTIL you delete it (ie, after deletion, it still shows its other informations, inode, modes, etc, but the things-nwas showing (ie: its full path :name:.........) is no longer shown once the corresponding file is deleted). So please if anyone knows a solution for AIX 6.1, I'm interrested.lsofis probably going to be the closest to a portable solution you can get to list open files. the debugger approach to close the fd under the application feet should be quite portable as well.df -k | awk 'NR>1 { print $NF }' | xargs fuser -Vud(and then easy to send signals to the offenders to force them to release the fd)lsof +L1. From the lsof man page: "A specification of the form+L1will select open files that have been unlinked. A specification of the form+aL1 <file_system>will select unlinked open files on the specified file system.". That should be a bit more reliable than grepping.
