Hi

I removed a file that I shouldn't. The file is not totally gone yet,
because another session is still reading the file.

lsof shows:

FD TYPE DEVICE NODE NAME
4r REG 8,13 161124 /path/to/my/file (deleted)

Is there any way that I can recover the file, before it is gone for good?

thanks

I think you need to specify which OS you are using. In Linux you may find
something helpful in /proc. In Tru64 I don't think you can do it at all. In
other OS's I just don't know.
