  • 1.  looking for AIX lsof fileset via the "AIX Webpack" site(s)

    Posted Tue March 15, 2022 01:40 AM
    Hi,

    I understand that lsof is and installp package though it was once part of the open source toolkit.  I have found one copy of it on an AIX 7.2 expansion pack (tarball) but it looks a bit down level/old.  I see from other's comments that this fileset along with openssl and openssh should be downloadable from the "Marketing AIX Webpack" site (or something like that).

    But, none of those URLs work.  For example

    - doesn't work
    https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=aixbp&lang=en_US

    - doesn't work
    https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=aixbp&lang=en_US

    etc.

    How do I get these things?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Mike

    Thanks, Sanket!
    I installed on of the version from the web pack but I’m still getting this warning:

    [root@crcoaixdev ~]# lsof /projects
    lsof: WARNING: compiled for AIX version 6.1.0.0; this is 7.2.0.0.

    This is the OS of the machine in question:

    [root@crcoaixdev ~]# oslevel -s
    7200-05-03-2148

    Is there any way to get rid of this warning or is there some other version we should be running? Here’s what I installed:

    [root@crcoaixdev ~]# lslpp -L | grep -i lsof
    lsof.base 6.1.0.4891 C F List Of Open Files
    lsof.license 6.1.0.4891 C F List Of Open Files
    lsof.man.en_US 6.1.0.4891 C F List Of Open Files

    Then I also tried this version (from the Web Pack) site:

    [root@crcoaixdev ~]# lslpp -L | grep -i lsof
    lsof.base 6.1.0.4890 C F List Of Open Files
    lsof.license 6.1.0.4890 C F List Of Open Files
    lsof.man.en_US 6.1.0.4890 C F List Of Open Files

    …but it gives the warning too.

    How do I get lsof w/o the warning on AIX 7.2? Please advise. Thanks.
