Why cannot run lsof?
 

I type lsof and want to see the opened files but I got
But I can find the lsof is under /usr/sbin/lsof


Why?

Hi,

lsof is probably not in your path (you are running the command as none root user, aren't you).

Include the whole path when calling the command. I.e: /usr/sbin/lsof <options>

Another, less preferable solution would be to add /usr/sbin to your PATH (it isn't included for a reason...).

Hope this helps.

Try to search the Absolute path of executable

.....or you can simply run the command as root.

To check what is in your path, do this:
echo $PATH

Name the distribution YOU ARE USING:

Path of lsof on Suse : /usr/bin/lsof
so lsof worked as a non-root on my OpenSuse 11.2

but as you say sbin is not in the PATH

You need root permissions for that !!
