 |
|
Hello,
I would like to find out which files a program accesses from the beginning of its execution to the end. I only know lsof, but it doesn't collect data continuously like top or so...
Has anybody an idea? Thanks!

Ups, I should have read the f** manual  lsof allows a continuous monitoring of a process with the -r switch

Monitoring with inotify (and e.g. pyinotify) would also be possible and it would not be limited to a 1 second delay monitoring like lsof.

I looked at this thread just by curiosity and after "man strace" found another solution: | Code: | | strace -e trace=open,close program_cmd |
Probably it should be easy to write some script/program parsing open/close lines to list only opened files in realtime. |

Cool, maybe better for people without inotify support in kernel. Thanks!
