Hi

Mine is a Linux system. I tried executing the lsof command and it lists all the process that are running in the system. It seems to work fine. But Im not sure how to identify the binary file. Can you please help me on how to identify the binary file. When I execute the lsof command on the binary file, specified above, I get the below result

lsof /bin/bash
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
run.sh 4711 platrgatxt REG 253,0 773216 65619 /bin/bash
run.sh 4795 platrga txt REG 253,0 773216 65619 /bin/bash
sod.sh 5440 root txt REG 253,0 773216 65619 /bin/bash
bash 6859 vr4637 txt REG 253,0 773216 65619 /bin/bash
bash 6887 root txt REG 253,0 773216 65619 /bin/bash
run.sh 29881 platrga txt REG 253,0 773216 65619 /bin/bash


The above does not seem to list the process that Im intrested in. Please Assist. Thanks

COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)					    http://en.opensuse.org/Sco					      COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)

NAME
command-not-found - A command-not-found handler SYNOPSIS
command-not-found {binary_name} {repository} ARGUMENTS
The following arguments are required: binary_name The name of binary you are looking for. repository The name of repository for search. For most cases, use zypp DESCRIPTION
command-not-found handler is designed to tell users which package contains a missing command. The handler is integrated to bash(1) and zsh(1) shells and is not necessary to call it directly. Just type a name of the command in your favourite shell and you'll get a result. If you consider c-n-f handler useless, just add unset command_not_found_handle to your profile or remove the command-not-found package. Handler doesn't call the command-not-found binary directly, it only prints info about it. If you want to invoke it automatically, just add export COMMAND_NOT_FOUND_AUTO=1 to your bash profile. EXAMPLE
: NORMAL USAGE For example you want to try blender, because you have heard that is an amazing program. So just type blender in shell: $ blender You get the following output: The program 'blender' can be found in the following package: * blender [ path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (openSUSE 11.1-0) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install blender bash: blender: command not found SEE ALSO
