Re: File Open by Process

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I am on Linux and trying to create a script which calls an external program which in turn calls compilers and linkers to build C/C++ applications. I would like to capture all the file opens from the the external program to find out exactly which files were opened with complete path to them.	[reply]

Thank you so much. I am working on my script, so I cannot try it at this time, but to confirm, it should also follow any processes created by my Perl script (compiler, linker, etc calls) if -f options is passed to it, correct?	[reply]
