> /proc/PID/fd seems to work just fine; see transcript below. OMG. That does work. I didn't try it because the file looks like a symlink in 'ls' -- a similar process with symlinks on a normal filesystem will produce different results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ echo This is a test > t.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ tail -f t.txt > /dev/null & [1] 15538 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ ln -s t.txt t.txt-symlink [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ rm t.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cat t.txt-symlink cat: t.txt-symlink: No such file or directory So the proc filesystem somehow provides hardlink semantics with a symlink facade?
