- I just noticed that the strip command is smart enough not to "strip" an active
- program, but only if the program is not on an NFS mounted disk. If the program
- is on the local disk, and is running, strip gives this message:
-
- thunder> strip fred
- strip: fred -- strip: 0654-402 Cannot write to file, permissions are not \
- correct.
-
- Not a very informative message, but at least it did not strip the program.
-
- If you run strip on an active program from an NFS mounted disk, strip works
- fine, and the program core dumps shortly afterwards.
-
- My question is: How does the strip command determine if the file is active?
-
- Cheers,
