I have received a lot of replies to this question, and thanks to everyone
who replied.

Almost all of them reffered me to "lsof" (list open files) which is available
at ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof.

-Few people suggested using "ofiles", "fuser", "sar -v 1 1".

-I tried using lsof and it gives the information, but needs some filtering
as it gives lot of information.

-A few months ago I had seen output from a utility called "PROCTOOL" in some
posting on the net, which had similar output. I would appreciate if anyone
can point me to where I can get this utility from.

Thanks again to everyone who responded.
