Ditto to what Brian says about changing perms on the directory. A bit of a brute force method here, but if you're scrapped for time and don't want to wait for the deletion attempt to take place, you could also try doing a "find grep" from your MySystem directory. Look for all files (.pl?, .c?) and grep for unlink/rm and/or log. If your output is too large, just redirect it to a file and peruse at your leisure.
grep is your friend ;) I find this korn shell function often useful (placed in my .kshrc file) function gf { if [[ $# != 2 ]] then print "Usage: gf <file(s) | wildcard> <pattern>" print " Example: gf \*.c foo" else for i in `find . -name "$1"` do grep -n "$2" $i /dev/null done fi } HTH Jeff --- Arijit Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a huge Software System with lots of > sub-systems and processes in it. > > One of my file system's folder like > "/u/arijit/MySystem/log" is getting deleted > unintentionally by any of these processes. > > Is there a way by which I can track which process is > actually deleting this folder?
