- TheCabin 8y agoAny thoughts about pros / cons when compared with Sloth?
- nacs 8y agoSloth has some features that seem more Mac specific like filtering out non-user applications and such. Also, one is java vs a native (mac-only) app.
- tomc1985 8y agoIt's a wrapper around a tool. Just try it!
- josteink 8y agoLsof is Unix-standard, part of coreutils, and can be used anywhere, piped and automated. Sloth exists only on OSX and is a GUI app. I’d ask the opposite: Any reason anyone would anyone use Sloth over lsof?
- zokier 8y ago> Lsof is Unix-standard lsof is pretty common, but I don't think it is actually standard in any way, for example it is not part of POSIX or SUS which arguably are the two most influential UNIX related standards. http://bhami.com/rosetta.html http://bhami.com/rosetta.html (ctrl-f lsof)
- saagarjha 8y agoIt works very well on macOS, which is an OS that I use for a large amount of time?
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoDoes lsof not work very well on MacOS?
- saagarjha 8y agoIt works, but supposedly this works better.
