* Why didn't rm say they were open?
I'm not sure it can know.
* And by which process, so I'd know if it's OK to kill it?
As Martin said, lsof(8) and fuser(1) are your friends.
So it can know if it wanted to - don't apologize for the software when
you are supposing to be hating it!
Thanks. Exactly. Why aren't lsof(8) and fuser(1) the friends of rm(N)? And how
and why do you people remember these /numbers/? And what's the deal with the
stupid man system, and maybe it's time to /fix/ it, and maybe rm can be fixed
while they're at it?
