Hi again, no output yet as filemon is really running a long time, much past the 30 seconds & trcstop specified at cmdline per:

filemon -v -T 50331648 -o fmon_all.`uname -n`.$(date +\%m\%d\%H\%M\%S\%Y).out -O all;sleep 30;trcstop

am I running filemon incorrectly per the output of ‘ps –aefk/etc’
(the trclogio appears to be runaway/stuck but eventually does finish up about 15 minutes later):

If I “kill -1/3/15/9 PID” nothing is populated in the output file and it does not die immediately either………..
Help, please…………. This is scary now in that nothing is operating as expected anymore………..
Is there that much difference in “how things operate” from 5.3 to 6.1??????????

Appreciate all help knowing you are busy……….

ibm helpdesk clarified usage is different between 5.3 & 6.1:
5.3 syntax:
filemon -v -T 50331648 -o fmon_all.`uname -n`.$(date +\%m\%d\%H\%M\%S\%Y).out -O all; sleep 30; \ trcstop
6.1 syntax:
filemon -o fmon.out -Oall,detailed; sleep 10; trcstop

key diff is the detail now is specified in 6.1 per the "-Oall,detailed" where 5.3 is the "-v"

works fine now with all output captured......... hth :)
