True, but not my point. lsof is like wget ... it's built into almost every Linux distro. Thus you see lots of people suggesting your install lsof and wget on BSD systems with no mention of fstat and fetch. Even if lsof is BSD licensed, it's really a Linux program on account of how it's used. fstat, in particular, is just as useful as lsof in every case I've needed it. I'm just being pedantic :) -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
