Version: X01-03 Submitted By: James Duff Operating System: VAX/VMS V5.4-3 Source Language: MACRO-32 Keywords: File Management, Utilities - VMS Notes: Executable and/or object code is included. Changes & Improvements: Fixed bug that produced an infinite loop under DECwindows. Restrictions: Change mode to executive privilege is required in order to run this program. Abstract: HOT_FILES is designed to locate open files on mounted
volumes and display the number of reads and writes that have
been performed on them. This information is contained in
the window control block(s) associated with each open file.
The program can be used to locate heavily accessed files
with the aim of improving overall system performance by
tuning these files. This can be done by using a simple
program to hold the suspect files open and periodically
checking the counts with HOT_FILES.
