Friday July 30, 2004 Solaris Quiz #2 (Which file)
A fairly simple quiz which probably has several answers. Here we go: We have a process which is already running. We dont want to restart the process. It is writing a lot of data to a file but we dont know which one. We suspect process has a lot of files open. How do we find the name of the file that we are writing to?
Restrictions
- The OS is Solaris 8
- We can become root
The prize will be whatever I can scrounge. The winner will not necessarily the first person to answer, but either the most elegant answer, or failing that the answer which meets my arbitrary and as yet unspecified criteria.
