Is there someway I can determine the filenames of all the currently
open files?
I have an application that, after many hours of running, dies when
I try to open another file. The error is something like, "too many
open files."
It is our application, but we are calling a number of third party
library routines (GSS CGI is the main one) that open and (hopefully)
close temporary files.
We cannot track down any place where we open a file and don't close
it, so we are beginning to suspect the other library routines. One
of them is possibly not closing some temp file. But who?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Larry.

Run your application over PC Lan or PC Network. Check on the server with "net file" command. Izumi Ohzawa, izumi@violet.berkeley.edu

This is an IBM product (from their Pesonally Developed Software series, though I believe they may have sold the reseller rights to someone else recently), which allows you to monitor selected DOS system calls. If your application uses full screen graphics, not to worry: you can drop an MDA into the PC, hook up a monochrome monitor and redirect the output to that. It's quite invaluable.

Intercep (aka interc) is also quite handy. It monitors dos calls and most bios calls. If you want me to post it to c.b.i.p, send mail. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) If you can, help others. If you can't, | Leftoid and proud of it at least don't hurt others--the Dalai Lama |
