Find all "regular" files open for write on solaris?

UNIX Solaris
1

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.

 
ps -e | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs -i pfiles {} 2>/dev/null
2 
pfiles /proc/* | grep "^ */" | sort -u
3

I get no output.

part is working fine.
But

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

pfiles /proc/*

on Solaris 8 ?

Here is first few lines of output.

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 ?

8 
lsof -T | grep REG | nawk '$4 ~ /.*[wu]/ { print $9}' | sort -u
9

That works great. May I know what '10' means in the following output in the second column?

COMMAND     PID     USER   FD   TYPE        DEVICE   SIZE/OFF     NODE NAME
cstd.agt     530     root   10u  VREG        85,2     8184     16254  /var/adm/utmpx

Is there a way that I can get full command used in this output[first column] using any flag[lsof's] that we generally see with '/usr/ucb/ps -auxww'?

10

File descriptor #10.

I don't think so.

Thanks a lot. This thread now can be closed.
