Re: Displaying Users and Processes for UNIX z/OS Functions
On z/OS 2.1 or later, you can use this command: zlsof -d /tmp Other commands and suggestions for managing /tmp can be found here: http://dovetail.com/docs/pt-quick-inst/pto-inst-tmp.html Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 2:03 AM, Peter Hunkeler wrote: > > >I'd try the UNIX command, "ls -alrt /tmp", which would show timestamps, > >user IDs, and file sizes.

That would not show files that have been unlinked but are still in use (open). I understand it is quite common for temporary files: OPEN (create mode), UNLINK, WRITE & READ to and from file, CLOSE. The temporary file will be deleted a CLOSE time. In the case of unnormal end, the kernel will CLOSE the file, thus the file will be deleted also in that case. No zombie file left behind. "ls" will not show this file. "fsinuse" will show processes that use files in a specific directoy, but /tmp might be used by many.

Bill Schoen has written a number of utilities that are on the UNIX Tools & Toys page that you might be able to use to help with this. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/bpxa1ty2.html I'd guess the "fsinuse" tool would be a good start. It's all in REXX, so would be easy to integrate into your auto-ops. Bill seems to watch the OMVS list, but maybe here too. He obviously knows more about this than I do - perhaps he will chime in.

Try issuing from OMVS: fuser -cu /tmp But that will only work if the task/user is still running. - Gladys -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

the closest that I can think of, which may or may not be of any use is to
use the ADDRESS USS functionality in CA-OPS/MVS in your message rule.
Something like:
ADDRESS USS "USSCMD LOG(Y)" ||,
"COMMAND('/bin/ps -Aflm') "
but I don't know where the STDOUT output will go. And the RACF id under
which the OPSUSS server(s) is/are running needs to have the appropriate
UNIX (and RACF) authorities. You could probably "log" the output something
like:
ADDRESS USS "USSCMD LOG(Y)" ||,
"COMMAND('/bin/ps -Aflm >>/var/log/ps-Aflm.txt') "
Or run some shell script instead of /bin/ps, if you want to do multiple
commands.

The unfacts, did we have them, are too imprecisely few to warrant our
certitude.

Displaying Users and Processes for UNIX z/OS Functions
I am running into an issue where I will see messages like the following BPXTF009E FILESYSTEM EXCEEDS 94% FULL: /tmp BPXTF009E FILESYSTEM EXCEEDS 99% FULL: /tmp BPXTF010E FILESYSTEM IS FULL: /tmp I have automation to trap these messages to send me a notification when they occur. What I need to know is what/who was running at the time that caused this condition. I have been looking at the D OMVS commands, but cannot see what I can use. What command or process, that I can automate with OPS/MVS, could show me what/who was doing X at the time of the message? Or is that not possible?
