I don't think `lsof` can replace a call trace in this case. The requirement is I need to see what files a program is opening,... which I read as "List all files the program opens during its lifetime". With `lsof` you get a snapshot of the files that are open at the moment. You'll miss files that were open but have been closed again, as well as those the program hasn't opened yet.

Very few things come as defaults with Linux - it will depend upon your distribution .. Steve --	[reply]
