Fwd: How to WIPE Service with D+ STAT

[alok pandey <alok.rhct@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi 

Recently I experienced a problem on one of  user-desktop machine (centos5.2), when a user(with all access) deleted the file  /var/log/messages  to free some space (as  df -h was showing /var 100% full), but still df -h shows 100% full.

It takes around 10 min to figure out the problem. To resolve it, I just reloaded the syslog service. ( I was luck that user told me what he did before, otherwise I am sure it will  take min of 1 to 2 hour )

 

I want to know that is there any way to get perfect details of such misguiding output. (one i know is fuser, but i didn't find it's helpful).

To be more specific about problem I want to know ,Is there any way in Linux(centos) to do the following :-

--Remove/reload/wipe process who's ps output comes with D+ stat

--How to trace running  script/process  , were it is blocked/hold (basically exact line of script)

--process/users details of using  resource ( disk partition, memory, files, etc) .
