in thread How to detect if file is in use?

Nope that is not true in the general sense, which can be demonstrated simply by running:

open FOO, ">x"; $foo = <>;
in one window and then in another:
[jonathan@orpheus test]$ /sbin/fuser -u x x: 5665(jonathan) [jonathan@orpheus test]$ mv x x1 [jonathan@orpheus test]$ /sbin/fuser -u x1 x1: 5665(jonathan)
However it is true for most Windows applications.
