Hey all,
I've put this position up on the Linux jobs list
(http://www.linux.org.au/jobs/). For some reason, it never showed up,
and I never got any return from my emails asking about it. So I'll
post it here myself.
I would kindly ask for whoever is interested to reply to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and
Sluggers,
sorry about the re-post a few minutes ago. There has been some
confusion here on whether this went through or not. I just came to
know this got sent to the jobs list by another staff member here.
My bad.

All in all, if you have Ruby installed, you can always use the builtin
GUI for lsof.
Just run:
$ ruby -rtk -e 'r=TkRoot.new{title"LSOF
GUI"};t=TkText.new(r);t.pack;u=Thread.start{loop{t.value=`sudo
lsof`;sleep 2}};Tk.mainloop'
In a single line, of course.
Happy new year.
