Well, I wanted to write Apache::FileLeak or an extension to
Apache::VMonitor to show the opened file descriptors, the files and the
processes that have opened them, but this requires a root access unless
you want to see the information about the current process only.
The other problem is that I couldn't find a generic cross platform
library, that provides this kind of information.
I've suggested to have a hook in the parent process that will be able to
deliver this only root accessible information to a non-root child. Just
like the information about apache processes can be retrieved by any child
thru mod_status or Apache::VMonitor (Apache::Scoreboard).
On linux I'd retrieve the information about opened fds by reading
/proc/PID/fd directory, probably it's the same on every OS that supports
proc fs.
So the two problems to be solved are:
1) finding a generic solution to retrieve the fd info as root
2) making this information available to the child processes
Ideas?
