Find all "regular" files open for write on solaris?
How do I find all "regular" files on solaris(8) that are open for write ( +read as well).

I tried using pfiles, and lsof commands, but not sure how to get exactly what I wanted.

Code:
 
ps -e | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs -i pfiles {} 2>/dev/null

Code:
pfiles /proc/* | grep "^ */" | sort -u

I get no output.
Quote:
pfiles /proc/*
part is working fine.
But
Quote:
| grep "^ */"
part does not return anything.

Can you check it on your end. Also I am not sure what you are trying to do with that second argument,, if you explain I can give it a try.

I have no Solaris 8 to check. My command works fine with Solaris 10 and 11. The grep is extracting filenames from the pfiles output.

Can you post a sample output of
Code:
pfiles /proc/*

on Solaris 8 ?

Well, pfiles started to show the full path with Solaris 10. For older releases, the simpler solution would be to install lsof from sunfreeware.

We do have lsof installed. What do I need to do to get only open files for writing from lsof output ?
