I'll see what I can do. Thank you so much for replying - this really looks good. Unfortunately I don't have root access and I have to open a ticket in order to have the SA do that and I'm not even sure why I needed this in the first place so I'm not sure I can justify this request or if they'll even run it. I tried myself - here is the contents of nohup.out Smilie

dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace requires additional privileges

I'll see if I can get in touch with an SA and see if I can get a glimpse of a sample. In any event I appreciate your help as I had never heard of the dtrace programme until now - and I see there's even a long google video on it.

One other thing...a similar command for Linux ? Also, is this dtrace feature realtime or can you search past logs?

NAME

       fddist - file descriptor usage distributions. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS

       fddist [-r|-w]

DESCRIPTION

       This  prints  distributions for read and write events by file descriptor, by process. This can be used to determine which file descriptor a
       process is doing the most I/O with.

       Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

OPTIONS

       -r     reads only

       -w     writes only

EXAMPLES

       Sample both read and write activity,
	      # fddist

       Sample reads only,
	      # fddist -r

FIELDS

       EXEC   process name

       PID    process ID

       value  file descriptor

       count  number of events

BASED ON

       /usr/demo/dtrace/lquantize.d

DOCUMENTATION

       DTrace Guide "Aggregations" chapter (docs.sun.com)

       See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
       bose descriptions explaining the output.

EXIT

       fddist will sample until Ctrl-C is hit.
