Question

Is it possible to trace which files are creating files in the /tmp folder on a linux OS? I want to back trace some files to find out where they have come from

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

If the files are open you could find the processes with something like

ll -d /proc/[1-9]*/fd/* | grep /tmp/
