Only if you run it on the device to which that inode refers. If you run it on another device, you won't get a valid response. In order to know how to get *to* the device in question, you have to already know to what account it refers. That's circular.
The point is, in the List Locks you do not know the account to which a device refers, or the account to which an inode refers. All you know is, the device and the inode. So how do you know how to access the device on which to run the process, when all you have is the device number, and you do not know in what account to run your process? -----Original Message----- From: John Hester <jhes...@momtex.com> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Fri, Mar 16, 2012 5:25 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Turn a device and inode into file name *I* can assume because in our environment there is one production ccount on one device.

My code ample isn't written to be able to switch devices because that's of no e to me in the context of listing locked production files in our vironment. If you want to write a utility that executes "ls -i" on ny evice, that's fairly trivial and there are numerous ways you could o t. Just write some code to get the correct path into a variable by atever means you prefer and tack it on to the end of the command.

It uses "ls -i", so it's ited to files in he account you run the command from, though. Works e for us because ll of our users work out of the same account. This he relevant part of he code: INODE.NO = TRIM(READU.ARRAY<I,3>) EXECUTE 'SH -c "ls -i | grep ':INODE.NO:'"', OUT > FILENAME IF FILENAME<1,1,1> # '' THEN FILENAME = FIELD(TRIM(FILENAME<1,1,1>),' ',2) 'L#8' s also pretty resource intensive because it re-lists the entire count r every inode.
