Sorry, I don't know that. If it's a unix box, though, renaming it won't affect the processes that have it open. So you could potentially rename it and wait a while (giving other jobs a chance to finish using it) and *then* process it. Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable about the Unix filesystem will chime in. I'm even less knowledgeable about windows filesystems (except for FAT12/16, yech!)...
