    Dear Experts,

    Being new to the AIX world, we are currently troubleshooting a problem with Oracle whereby we need to get the paths and file names corresponding to a running process.

    Normally, in an HP-UX environment, we would have run the following command to get the desired information:
    =============================================================================
    code
    [b]HP-Server1:>lsof -p 2759 [/b]
