Look here:
HP Communities - /proc or equivalent in HPUX - Enterprise Business Community


The kernel metrics you are looking for are PROC_OPEN, THREAD_OPEN... by what I remember and apeared in HP-UX 11.00...
Addendum : (they may be glance specific - they are counts of open(2) system calls.)

Sorry, but that is a rubbish post.
Oh? What virtual filesystem resembling /proc/ does HPUX have, then?

Anything?

The kernel tables used by glance , top, ps, lsof and more.
It's an anomaly of Solaris and some Linux that these tables are visible to ls.
HP-UX ps does not list Open Files.

Unfortunately, there's no HP-UX equivalent of Linux's /proc filesystem. Linux has gone beyond just listing different process related stuffs in /proc which is quite hard to find in HP-UX without custom C programs using some kind of pstat(2) functions.

Work around is to use ps, pfiles, pmap, ptree, etc commands which can give various details of a process.
