Welcome to forums, yes you can use lsof command for same purpose, it shows all the files which are currently being used/opened by processes. You can refer man lsof for more information too. NOTE: I have checked/tried this is in bash.
Problem

At regular intervals, I would like my application to take the PID for every process still... (5 Replies)

Afternoon all, hopefully someone can give me a hand with this (the following may be explained very poorly :rolleyes: )

Is there a way to find out the path/name of a script file that signaled my process? All that shows up from the signal info data is ksh. Even in getprocs64 is is just ksh.

shell
shell(1F) FMLI Commands shell(1F)NAME
shell - run a command using shell
SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise
/usr/bin/sh).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of shell command.
Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead.
`shell "build prog > /dev/null &"`
If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe-
cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to
save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing.
shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function.
NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments
will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process."
