lsof - long runtime

[PeterPitterling]

runtime on a large system for lsof exceeds 15 minutes.

# time lsof -M -P -n

real    15m17.660s
user    1m45.943s
sys     4m19.078s

In the past I often use the -c switch to reduce runtime

# time lsof -M -P -n -c ''

real    0m1.740s
user    0m0.175s
sys     0m0.692s

Would this switch still provide the required information for LinuxKI?

Thanks for the suggestion. For large multi-threaded applications, this would really help. I'll change the lsof command to the following:

$ lsof -M -P -n -K i

The -K i option is just a bit more direct and documented way to ignore threads based of the lsof manpage:

If -K is followed by a value, k, it must be "i". That causes lsof to ignore tasks, particularly in the default, list-everything case when no other options are specified.

I have made the change on my local copy and it will be fixed in the next LinuxKI release.
