Identify the user / PID of the Unix Process that has a file open or given port open

# File check
lsof | grep -i <filename>
# e.g set up a file that is open

vi /home/oracle/junk # then write the file – and keep it open with vi

# now from a different xterm – I’m using root but you don’t have to

[root@oel66-79 oracle]# lsof | grep -i junk
vim 2665 oracle 3u REG 251,2 12288 1572317 /home/oracle/.junk.swp

# may also be of some value

fuser -m -v /home/oracle/junk

# Port Check

lsof | grep -i <port_number>
