There's a few typos in this, in case it helps: ps auxww -> ps auxww -H (H is hierarchy) Faster than lsof, and only displays files - although most things in unix are files! lsof -p -> ls -l /proc/$PID/fd Run something forever watch command Overview of all disks du should be df.

Use: find . -mtime +14 -type f -name '*.gz' and it will run quicker too. TCP Sockets in use, "netstat -antp" will be faster and also lists the process id. EDIT: formatting
