Running it at boot time seems unnecessary. Just run as root when needed.

C) Run it as root is the way to go. Unless you want a redacted version of the report, that is.

B) Make it part of systemd? What is this, a systemd takeover? I'll stick to running it as root, thanks.

I vaguely recall something about systemd and lsof, but I don't think that's necessary for getting a complete report.

Okay, let me see. I'm guessing it has to do with permissions and access rights. Running it as root makes the most sense.

C) Run it as root is the correct answer. You need elevated privileges to get a complete report from lsof.

Running it as a regular user doesn't sound right, that's probably not going to give me the complete report.

A) Run it at boot time? Nah, I prefer to run it on demand when I need to snoop around. Gotta keep that sysadmin curiosity in check.
