I don't think I've ever seen rm fail to delete a file because it's been in use, even on traditional *nix systems. In fact, if I remember correctly, I'll notice that Trash is stuck on a file (in use), lsof will list the file as in use by Finder or some other process, rm completes successfully, and lsof no longer lists the file as in use. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
