Monitoring open files

Hi all
I've just started to administer my first OSX server (previously used Netware in a Mac environment), and I can't seem find a way to monitor open file activity.
Already this week I've had a few users have files locked because someone else was using them, but there's no obvious way view who is locking the file, unlike Monitor in Netware, or even viewing shares in Windows.
Can someone please point me in the direction on how to monitor what user has a file open?
Thanks all!
Matt.

Thanks guys!
I also found a funky gui for it called Sloth, which can be found at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22535.

  • CS4 - Dual Monitor Setup - Files open on wrong screen + Preview Adjustment layers

    I have various workstations running Mac OS 10.5.8 three run PS CS3, and one runs CS4
    In CS4 files always open on the monitor I have allocated for my palattes.  Before CS4, Photoshop would open files on the monitor that my last filed was opened on.  This is highly annoying!!! How can I fix it so that it at least always opens on the same monitor.
    (My menu bar is on the monitor I've designated for my palettes menu and not the monitor I do all my color work on.)
    Also, any hopes that we will be able to have a preview button for adjustment layers again?  This is highly annoying, and if I'm able to do so when adjusting directly onto a layer, why don't I at least have the option to have a preview button when having an adjustment layer????

    Well if you menu bar is on your "second" monitor, it's generally considered now the "first" monitor, and hence most files will open on that screen by default. But sometimes you can make a file open on the other monitor if you have your mouse cursor in the other monitor. So put  your cursor on the desired screen, press command-O and the open dialog should show there, and the image should open there too. Also works if you double click a file on the desktop of the 2nd monitor. (Usually, these are the window opening dynamics as best I can figure).

  • InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

    BW Experts,
    I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd  marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
    Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

    Hi Nagesh,
    Thanks for helping out.
    If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
    Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
    (red icon) Request No.147515
    0 Data Records
    Runtime 1 sec.
    (red icon)Run No. 1

    Request 147515 was terminated before extraction RSBO 326
    Request 1475151: Error occured RSBO 322
    If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
    Please help.

  • Can't get OPP service started after OATM due to can't open file for reading

    This is my second run on the OATM upgrade. OPP (and thus XML reports) came up fine after the 2nd run. After this run, had some issues with enqueing and solved them in an S/R with Oracle, but now I can't start OPP. I have tried all sorts of things, like aborting it in OATM, restarting, shutting down instance, running cmclean twice, resubmitting request, etc. Here is the error I get:
    As System Administrator in forms, go to:
    Concurrent -> Manager -> Administer
    -> pick Output Post Processor (from the many manager in the list)
    -> by the way it says "Activating" under status, seems stuck there.
    -> then hit the Processes button
    -> it will show a long list of "Terminated" and default to the first
    one at the top.
    -> Hit the "Manager Log" button
    -> you now get
    "APP-FND-01632: Cannot open file
    /sechi/applcsf/log/SECHI_orav880d/FNDOPP1380237.txt for reading
    Cause: [Routine] encountered an error when attempting to open file
    sechi/applcsf/log/SECHI_orav880d/FNDOPP1380237.txt for reading
    Action: Verify that the filename is correct, the environment variables
    controlling that filename are correct, and the file exists.
    Action: Verify that protections on that file permit reading by this
    program
    - but what is wierd is that the permissions on this dir are 777. I can see old OPP logs in that directory from before OATM. I can manually create a file with the name it complains about , then the app opens up the blank file with nothing in it. It seems that file is not getting created, not that it can't be opened.
    If I need to change the log level of OPP please also tell me how to do that if it would provide some clues.
    THanks Marvin

    One more thing I am going to try first....
    I am going to change the service ID of the OPP manager. It keeps trying
    to restart the dead process maybe that it is..

  • Photoshop not opening files

    Photoshop CS5 will not open files. Occasionally if i try to open a .psd file that has already been created by double clicking on it in its folder, it will open but I will hardly be able to edit it. For example, the brush tool does not work, crop tool, resizing image etc. I had this problem 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled adobe creative suite, ran the adobe cloud cleanup tool and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again. However after a week everything suddenly went back to the way it was again. Very frustrating! I might as well mention that at the same time as Photoshop "crashed" I also became unable to drag objects in Illustrator and InDesign.
    I am not very good on the technical side so I just copied all my performance info below. I am working from a laptop with a mouse plugged into the usb port. Is there any other details you need to know?

  • InDesign CS5 hangs when opening files

    I have recently begun experiencing a problem whereby I cannot open any existing InDesign documents. I can create new documents and work in them, but I cannot open any documents previously created in CS5.
    InDesign CS5, MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion OS 10.8.2, Intel Corei7
    The problem appeared shortly after the most recent Apple OS update so I suspect that may be causing this. InDesign just hangs with the beachball trying to open the file which it never does. It gets past linking files, then hangs. The problem has also occurred when I try to open files with InDesign CS6 on the same machine. I have tried to open a variety of different files and the problem still occurs so it doesn't seem to be file specific.
    I encountered the problem a few days ago and somehow resolved it through a combination of trashing preferences, removing the SING folder and some font management. Today the problem returned and I can't seem to resolve it via any of those methods. All other Adobe CS5 and 6 apps work just fine.
    I saw a post that recommended removing the SING plugin from InDesign's plug in folder so I tried that too. So far no luck.
    I've attached the crash report and the Sample Process report from the Activity Monitor.

  • WLS 10.3.5 on RHEL 5.4, SocketException: Too many open files

    Hi
    I'm running Weblogic server 10.3.5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga), with Java jdk1.6.0_27.
    My order handling application, when receiving client orders, needs to make outbound SOAP calls to fulfill the order. During a performance test, we got following errors:
    ####<Feb 10, 2012 2:28:41 PM ICT> <Critical> <Server> <KKMOMAPP2> <KKMOMPE2> <DynamicListenThread[Default]> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1328858921806> <BEA-002616> <Failed to listen on channel "Default" on 172.24.106.81:4095, failure count: 1, failing for 0 seconds, java.net.SocketException: Too many open files>
    I monitored the java process of this application, when the "Too many open files" error happened, it had 1388 open file descriptors, among which 655 were sockets.
    I also monitored the total open file descriptors of the weblogic user account, the count was around 6300 during this error.
    These numbers are far smaller than the file limits configured on OS:
    - Under weblogic account, ulimit -n shows 65536
    - /proc/sys/fs/file-max shows 772591
    - Following lines are already in /etc/security/limits.conf
    weblogic soft nofile 65536
    weblogic hard nofile 65536
    weblogic soft nproc 16384
    weblogic hard nproc 16384
    I did another test using a simple java program to open large number of sockets under weblogic account. It has no problem to open 15,000 sockets. It seems the file descriptor limit is indeed quite high, but for some reasons, the Weblogic process fails even when it has merely 1388 open files. Are there other Linux or Weblogic parameters I should tune? Or anything else I missed?
    Thank you very much

  • Error Message: "Error opening file"

    Hi Everyone,
    I've just started using SpeedGrade, so I'm not particularly familiar with it, but I have managed to get it working in the past. However recently I am being presented with the following error message, no matter what I try.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programming (including deleting the preferences folder from my Documents folder).
    I have also tried accessing the files directly in SpeedGrade and through Premiere Pro.
    The files I'm using are all Quicktime (.mov) files, 1280 x 720, 50fps. I have tried converting them to DPX Image sequences.
    None of the above attempts have made any difference.
    I am using a MacBook Pro (Early 2011) | 2.0GHz Quad-Core i7 | 4GB (2 x 2GB DDR3 1333MHz) | AMD Radeon HD 6490M | 1680 x 1050 Display, 32-bit colour.
    I would greatly appreciate any support on this matter, as I am on a deadline to complete this project.

    Having similar problems with SpeedGrade. Had been playing around with SG for a few weeks and it was working great and seemed to be a nice color grade solution so I decided to give it a go for a project I'm working on. Now, it doesn't open any movie files. I have Canon 7D footage and the same clips transcoded with Cineform in a separate folder that are found when browsing the desktop tab in SG. But recently, SG shows the files without thumbnails resulting in no clip previews and, any attempts to add clips to timeline shows "error opening file" in monitor panel. Also, all clips drop into the timeline with a duration of 1 frame. Of course all of my clips are much longer than one frame.
    I am able to open, playback and edit any of these files with full functionality in Premiere Pro, Bridge, Quicktime, & Finder.
    I am using MacBookPro Retina/ThunderboltDisplay.

  • Monitoring open ports and IP adresses on Windows clients

    I'm using SCOM 2012 for monitoring system. 
    I cannot find how to monitor open ports (TCP, UDP) and IP addresses on Windows based PCs. I need that kind of report for Internal auditors and Security officer.
    Is it possible to get Windows Firewall State, collect it in SCOM and prepare report on monthly base?
    tnx in advance

    I have found a possibility to do this. Hope you understand this and it is helpful. This is a two step process but guess will definitely server the purpose.
    Scope: We will be running a tool which will monitor a port (TCP or UDP) for a specific host / IP and will throw a log file.
    SCOM will monitor the log file and will throw a alert if the log file contains the string NOT LISTENING (Port not working or unable to open the port) which the program will create the log with the results.
    First download the program named: PortQry Command Line Port Scanner Version 2.0 from microsoft using the below link. It is a command line tool.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=17148
    Run it using by making a batch file or powershell script using task scheduler as per your time requirement (Every 5 min or 1Hr).
    Use this command to monitor a ip / hostname and its port with TCP or UDP.
    I have pasted the command file of the program in C:\Port_checker directory so i am using the below syntax
    C:\Port_checker\PortQry.exe -N 192.168.1.1 -e 5723 -p UDP -l C:\Port_checker\Result.log /y
    -N = Hostname / FQDN of agent or Ip address
    -E = Port # what you want to monitor
    -P = Protocol (TCP or UDP)
    -L = Generate log on the following location and name
    /Y = To replace the existing log file name to fresh one without prompt.
    The result in the log file will be as follows:
    ============================
    For successful port open:
    PortQry Version 2.0 Log File
    System Date: Tue Oct 07 09:42:32 2014
    Command run:
     C:\PortQryV2\PortQry.exe -N 192.168.1.1 -e 5723 -p UDP -l C:\Portqryv2\Result.log /y
    Local computer name:
     192.168.1.2
    Querying target system called:
     192.168.1.1
    Attempting to resolve name to IP address...
    Name resolved to 192.168.1.1
    querying...
    UDP port 5723 (unknown service): LISTENING
    ========= end of log file ========= 
      PortQry developed by Tim Rains
    For failure port open:
    PortQry Version 2.0 Log File
    System Date: Tue Oct 07 09:42:32 2014
    Command run:
     C:\PortQryV2\PortQry.exe -N 192.168.1.1 -e 5723 -p UDP -l C:\Portqryv2\Result.log /y
    Local computer name:
     192.168.1.2
    Querying target system called:
     192.168.1.1
    Attempting to resolve name to IP address...
    Name resolved to 192.168.1.1
    querying...
    UDP port 5723 (unknown service): NOT
    LISTENING
    ========= end of log file ========= 
      PortQry developed by Tim Rains
    Now as per the above results NOT LISTENING Port is blocked or is not opened and LISTENINGmeans
    working or port is opened.
    So now using SCOM you will monitor the log file Result.log in the location C:\Port_checker\ saying
    if NOT LISTENING comes in the log file throw me a alert in SCOM consle or via email.
    To configure that alert you need to create a Generic text log alerting Rule which will throw a alert if any thing added in that log which is not to be added and if it is added like NOT
    LISTENING then it will throw a alert.
    Refer this link on how to open a Generic text log alerting Rule.

  • CS4 opens files on wrong display

    I use a dual monitor setup. Prior to CS4, Photoshop would remember my preference of the display to use for newly opened files. Now it always displays files at open on my primary display and I have to find a part of the image peeking behind the palettes (er panels) and move it to my second, image-only display. This is driving me nuts. Also, sometimes when I drag the image to the second display, everything disappears and I have to select it from the Window menu. The latter looks like a bug.

    I figured out a workaround. You have to enable Application Frame then drag the Application Bar to the second display and maximize it. New images will now appear here. There's no way to turn off the Application Bar (that I can see) but switching into Full Screen Mode at least allows me to display the image without screen furniture. A bit of mucking around for what used to be quite simple. Anyway, the preceding may help others with the same requirements.

  • Photoshop CS3 slow to open files

    I have looked at all the answers i can find so far on this and other forums, but have not yet been able to effect a solution, so please bear with me, and hopefully someone can assist further.
    The problem is that opening files is painfully slow - having read about the issue with network printers (which I don't have) I have deleted everything listed under printers and re-installed the only printer that I have (which is locally attached via USB, but I deleted it in case Adobe thought is was a network printer).
    I have tried to create a generic printer (as recommended by Mr Joslin to jangel2 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2657130#2657130), but the installation failed and no additional printers were visible in control panel/printers.
    I am running Windows 7 on a Dell desktop, with plenty of memory etc.
    I have a number of external hard drives, and have turned all these on so Photoshop can find them in case it's looking, but this made no difference.
    I am at a loss and hope someone can help.
    Many thanks
    Lizzie

    Hi All, Apologies for the radio silence and many thanks for your responses.
    A techy friend of mine came round and changed loads of settings, restored to a previous point (prior to the windows upgrade) to no avail, and decided that the whole system needed rebuilding. Rather dejected, we searched the internet once more for possible solutions (this time under the heading "slow printing from Photoshop Epson" - although it was not the printing per se that was slow, just the loading of the file).
    This is the fix that we found: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=48960.0
    The relevant text from the forum (in case the link doesnt work) is:
    "I spoke with both Photoshop and Epson support guys and was able to come up with a fix (from Epson).  The fix involved deleting a hidden file in a hidden folder called Program Data on the C:\ drive.  The file had an extension of .AUD and was 40 megabytes in size. It was the only file with the .aud extension. Once I deleted that file, all of my problems went away.  The Epson support guy said that this file has caused problems in the past.  He thinks that the file is generated by the system and just keeps getting larger and larger until everything grinds to a halt.  To access hidden folders in Windows Explorer, click on the Tools tab, click on Folder options,  click on View.  Under the heading "Hidden Folders and files" click on  "Show Hidden Folders and files". You will then be able to access the folder "Program Data".  In the folder called "Program Data" you will find a folder titled "Epson".  In the Epson folder is a folder called "Printer".  In the printer folder is the file (In my case anyway) called "EPAUDF01.AUD.  When I deleted the file (that had swollen to 40 megabytes), the system (or the Epson Printer program... I'm not sure which), generated a new file that was 2 kilobytes in size, after I had restarted my machine.  I keep monitoring the file to see if it changes size, but so far it hasn't."
    Having deleted the file *.AUD, Photoshop loaded images as fast as lightning.
    Thought this would be of use to you all, and thank you once again.

  • Opening Files in Multiple Instances of Excel 2010

    I've been using multiple instances of Excel 2003 using two monitors for a long time using Windows XP.  I used to do this by opening Excel and opening Excel again from the Start menu and opening files through windows explorer and controlling which instance
    of Excel it would open because it opens based on the recent active Excel instance. For example, I open Excel program instance #1 and then I open Excel program instance #2.  If I click on the Excel program 1 and then go to windows explorer and open
    a file, it will open on Excel program instance #1.  If I click on instance #2 then open a file, it will open on instance #2. 
    However, now I have Windows 7 Pro with Excel 2010.  At first, it would ALWAYS open the file in the first instance of Excel whenever I opened a file from windows explorer.  I found some registry edits that will open a file in a new instance of Excel
    EVERY time. I don't really like either solution.  I want to control the number of Excel instances and determine which instance I want the file to open.  I know I can do this via the Open/File menu in Excel but it's a much more onerous
    way.  I would like to know if there is a way I can make Excel 2010 and Win7 behave the way it did before with Excel 2003 and WinXP.

    Hmm, it seems it´s really hard to undestand, what our problem is all about.
    Even the solution
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2636670 isn´t the right answer.
    Ok, i´ll try again:
    - i have 2 Excel-Instances running (can see it with TaskMgr) and i don´t want any
    more Excel-Instances starting
    - for several reasons (data-comparison side-by-side on 2 monitors, etc.), i´d like to control, in which instance
      double-clicked XLS-Documents from Mails, Web-Downloads or (most wanted!) PlSql-Developers
      "Export to Excel"-function should open
    - with Office2003 / WinXP it was very simple: 
    just activate the desired Excel instance before doing
      the double-click or calling the export-function ... the XLS-Document opens exactly in a new window
      of the previously activated Excel-instance
    So it´s not about opening always in new Excel-Instances, therefore all .bat-Solutions or Registry-
    modifications i´ve seen so far wont help. Also the mouse-drag/drop will not work for Web-Downloads
    or Database-Exports, even sometimes not for XLS in Outlook-Mails.
    Yes, i agree:  Win 7 / Office 2010 is a massive downgrade for all users, that need informations on the
    screen (instead of large, fancy icons), that want fast and efficient functionality (instead of clicking around
    through "ribbons" and waiting more than twice a time for same operations, that run in XP/Office2003 simply great)
    After digging the web, experimenting with registry-hacks, etc., i didn´t find any REAL solution.
    That´s why i feel, all those of you (incl. me), that
    have used their machines like described above, have lost.
    Resignated, i wish
    i could switch back to XP/Office2003
    Regards

  • Having trouble opening files in CS4

    I am having a color management nightmare and that has lead to my trouble opening files, so I'll explain that color management part first.
    I use Xrite Eye One Display Two as a calibration system and have recently bought a new Hewlet Packard 25 inch LCD monitor. Anyway, I am not seeing the same color outside of photoshop CS4 ext. that I see in photoshop CS4 ext. When I post a picture to the web, the color changes. I did read a post about this a few threads down, but my problem goes one step further. I changed some settings in the Save for Web section of photoshop and now I can't even open files from Bridge or directly from inside photoshop. Can anyone help me get back to just having problems with color? lol
    I am quite the novice when it comes to certain things in adobe photoshop CS4, so thanks for any help or advice you could give me.

    Gotta love the way HP throws out that "72% Color Gamut" spec (e.g., on this page) without actually saying what color profile or standard it's the gamut of.
    Color management is not something that can be easily explained in a paragraph.  Since you're calibrating your monitor it is kind of important for you to understand what it's all about - and such understanding is possible with just a little effort and reading time.  There are a lot of color management overviews online that can be turned up with a Google search.
    No file showing up without any error message seems kind of weird.  Are you using Windowed view or Tabbed view?  I ask because I'm wondering if somehow the document is opening up off-screen.  Do the entries in the Filter menu become active after such an open?
    Does a document show up if you switch the Open Documents as Tabs setting in Edit - Preferences - Interface?
    Have you installed any plug-ins that are supposed to provide access to any file types not available normally in Photoshop?

  • How can open File Dialoge Box in Oracle9i

    can any one tell me how can i open file dialoge box in oracle 9i i am using webutil but when i run this code.. there is an exception during runtime.. not compile time.. so plz tell me how can i open file dialoge box.. thx..
         declare
              file_name varchar2(100);
         begin
              file_name := client_get_file_name(FILE_FILTER=>'TEXT FILES (*.txt|*.txt|');
         end;

    Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The
    only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to
    download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the
    video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the
    download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is
    complete, then set flash back to full screen.
    How are you scripting the full screen?

  • Gnome crashes on Open File when starting - infinite crashes

    I found some material the other day on the forum and I can't find it again.  Maybe someone can give me an idea for a search term. 
    This happened immediately when I updated Gnome to 2.26 (I hadn't been using it for several weeks).  After the update Gnome started and Bug Buddy appeared.  When I canceled Bug Buddy, the Open File crashed again and Bug Buddy reappeared.  Over and Over.  I could run System Monitor but I couldn't see what to do to stop things.  If I killed Open File and Bug Buddy they just came right back  XFCE starts and runs fine as does Blackbox.  I thought maybe a subsequent update would contain the fix, but not so far.  So if anyone can put me onto the solution i would appreciate it.  thanks.
