I'm still searching for a way to know the pid of eg. the instance of
`wily` which is has a certain file open.

`pgrep wily` lists all the instances of 'wily'

I was hoping that, I'd find which wily has opened file *CONTROL* by:-
for PID in `pgrep wily`; do find /proc/$PID -exec grep -l "CONTROL" {} \;  >> trace; done
--- that's supposed to be ONE line ---

Using successive refinement:
 first I used mc to browse /proc/24357 to find a suitable search target.
Obviously "wily" would be there.

 Then I 'confirmed ?': 
find /proc/24357 -exec grep  "wily" {} \;
 but that failed, although mc could find several "wily" in /proc/24357

OK, we know that /proc is some kind of spooky FS ?
So, I copied to /find, [using mc] 2 of the files of /proc/24357 which
contain "wily", and of course, they are found by:
  find /find -exec grep  "wily" {} \; ==
./status 
./environ

How can mc look into /proc/24357 and show the contents if the basic
`find` can't see it?
