On several occasions, I have had a need to identify what process(es) is/are
accessing specific (possibly rm'd) files.  I can get some information thru
'pstat -i', but not enough to generate PIDs.  I think I'll need to write a
program to read the process table in the kernel, but I need some info/doc.

Anyone have any similar experiences?  Can anyone offer any documentation (or
does anyone know of any)?  Of course, if you know of a simpler way of finding
what PIDs are accessing what files, I'm all ears!

I understand Dynix PTX has *something* like this; unfortunately we're talking
Dynix 3 in this case!

I thank you all...
