There is also a command "fuser" that I have found to available on Linux,
Solaris and AIX. Then again, AIX installs this (binary) in /etc/fuser.
Some sample output:
[mikal@firewall mikal]$ /sbin/fuser
usage: fuser [ -a | -s ] [ -n space ] [ -signal ] [ -kimuv ] name ...
[ - ] [ -n space ] [ -signal ] [ -kimuv ] name ...
fuser -l
fuser -V
-a display unused files too
-k kill processes accessing that file
-i ask before killing (ignored without -k)
-l list signal names
-m mounted FS
-n space search in the specified name space (file, udp, or tcp)
-s silent operation
-signal send signal instead of SIGKILL
-u display user ids
-v verbose output
-V display version information
- reset options
udp/tcp names: [local_port][,[rmt_host][,[rmt_port]]]
[mikal@firewall mikal]$ /sbin/fuser -u .
.: 30488c(mikal)
Cheers,
Mikal
