Open Files Monitor - Open handles, file locks & process viewer
Open Files Monitor lists every file that running processes currently hold
open on Linux, by reading /proc/<pid>/fd, /proc/<pid>/fdinfo and /proc/locks.
Find out who is using a file, which files are locked, and which handles point
to deleted files that still consume disk space.
A lightweight Linux alternative to OpenedFilesView for seeing files opened by
applications.
Key Features:
- Live table of PID, process, user, descriptor, access mode (read/write),
file position, size and path, refreshed automatically.
- Filters: text, write-access only, deleted-but-open files, optional
sockets/pipes/anonymous descriptors.
- File Locks tab from /proc/locks (POSIX, FLOCK, OFDLCK, leases) resolved to paths.
- Processes tab with handle counts and command lines.
- Actions: terminate, kill, suspend, resume a process, open containing folder,
copy path and CSV export.
- Only descriptors your user (or granted snap interfaces) may read are shown;
the count of inaccessible processes is displayed.
- Bilingual donate header (Vietnamese / English).
