Thanks, this looks like it might work, unfortunately it's not as easy. My problem is that the program is being launched by another program, which I start manually, so I don't know it's PID yet, when I do, the program might already be terminated, or it might still be running (who knows?). Any other way I can get this information? Thanks to your tip, I looked up the man page for lsof, and I'll try it with the -c option, and hope I get it at the right moment.
