This seems to work well, thank you. Through my experimenting, I also found the solaris command pfiles. This is much slower, but lists all files that a process has open at the time of calling. For an apache server with 500+ child processes, it will unfortunately need more than an hour to go through, however I think after 40 or 50, I should be able to get a good idea of what's making it hang. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
