Sep 7, 2015 7:22 PM in response to shiv_blrby Linc Davis,★HelpfulA named pipe is not a process. It's an object in the file system. If you know where it's supposed to be, you can look for it in the Finder. Otherwise, you'd have to search for it in the shell by a suitable invocation of find(1).

Sep 7, 2015 7:25 PM in response to Linc Davisby shiv_blr,Thanks Linc. but if the pipe is created at runtime and then deleted by the process when process exited it is difficult to find it in finder. specially when the pipe name is random and based on process ID.
Is there a tool on MAC similar to Process monitor on windows which logs all activities on a running process for further analysis.
Anyways thanks a lot. :-)

Sep 7, 2015 7:53 PM in response to shiv_blrby Drew Reece,Is it listed under the main process in Activity Monitor? Get info on the process (double click it) & open files & ports should be listed.
