Re: utility monitoring an access to a file

AIX Audit can do some of that. It'll certainly tell you which user accesses
a file, but I'm not sure off the top of my head whether it'll tell you what
process/program was involved.

Not too good for global monitoring: you need to use it for a few, selected
files or the processing overhead can be considerable.

Hi folks,

Is there a tool on AIX which will monitor which user and what process
access certain file ?
