Thank you for that. With a little tweaking it's doing exactly what I wanted (in combination with watch). I reversed the sort order (highest open file count first). And as previously mentioned RH9's lsof doesn't support +c 16. It doesn't print any output if you try and use that option.

Regards

Ok, you asked for it...

(PS I think this looks a lot more readable than Perry's
awk/uniq/sort/join/ps/sort/sort command-line monstrosity...)

  The PowerPC chip has a machine instruction for Ensure Inline Execution of
  I/O. The opcode is EIEIO. And you thought engineers had no sense of humour?
