Perhaps it would be prudent to add some logic that when "lsof" is not available, check for (and possibly use) "fstat" instead.
Do note that the syntax of these two commands (lsof vs. fstat) are not the same and additional logic may need to be added. Just thought I'd mention "fstat" because not all systems have "lsof" (for example, FreeBSD vs. Linux). -- Devin On Mon, 2009-11-23 at 12:14 -0800, Jonathan Swartz wrote: > Server::Control allows you to control servers ala apachectl, but with > better diagnostics and many more features.
