[SunHELP] About lsof

[John Lee]

Thanks for your input. I think "lsof +d <dir>" is very useful when I can't
unmount a directory.

Regards.
John

First off, why did you install it, for what purpose? We use it here to
check to see if a process is finished with the files in a particular
work directory:

$ while (lsof +d /tmp/wrk | grep "file-pattern" >/dev/null 2>&1)

$

Your best be is to 'man lsof' & go from there.
