Unable to debug Too Many Open Processes from lsof
I followed the instructions from here, but my lsof file is 56,000 lines long. I tried opening it to figure out which process is creating so much noise, but it looks like gibberish to me.
How do I figure out which process is the problem?

what is that job that cannot be done without "lsof"?
I want to know the use of the overwhelming output of lsof and maybe a specific example where lsof feels like a blessing.
