Show all headers | View raw

lsof | grep mcedit | grep cwd | awk '{print $2}'
  shows you the PID of all mcedit.

less /proc/$mceditPIDs/cmdline
  shows you the files being edited by mcedit,
   for a valid $mceditPIDs.

What's the script to list all the files <open under mcedit>?

It's for human consuption, so need not be 'clean';
eg. less /proc/11549/cmdline
  shows me
mcedit-b/var/CONTROL/CIPCstik
 where I don't know what the "-b" is,
but I can see that CIPCstik is already open for editing,
in possibly another of the 22 WorkSpaces.
So I should not open another copy.


== TIA.

PS. old blackbox is a killer WindowManager:
  Alt/<anyKey> can launch any program,
including opening an editor on your <notes file/s>.
