fuser
identify processes using a file or file structure

SYNTAX
/etc/fuser [-ku] files [-] [[-ku] files]
DESCRIPTION
Fuser lists the process ids of the processes using files. Fuser
does not identify processes on remote machines using files
through NFS. For block special devices, all processes using any
file on that device are listed. The process ids are followed by
c or r if the process is using the file as its current directory
or its root directory and a p if the process is currently
executing the file.
If you use the -u option, the login name, in parentheses, also
follows the process id. In addition, if the -k option is
specified, the SIGKILL signal is sent to each process. Only the
superuser can terminate another user's process (see kill(2)).
Options may be re-specified between groups of files. The new set
of options replaces the old set; a single dash (-) cancels any
options currently in force.
The process ids are printed as a single line on the standard
output, separated by spaces and terminated with a single new
line. All other output is written on standard error.
EXAMPLES
/etc/fuser -ku /dev/dsk/test
If typed by the superuser, terminates all processes that are
preventing the file system on the logical disk named `test.'
drive one from being unmounted and lists the process IDs and
login name of each process as it is killed.
/etc/fuser -u /etc/passwd
Lists process IDs and login names of processes that have the
password file open.
/etc/fuser -ku /dev/dsk/test -u /etc/passwd
Performs both of the first two examples in a single command
line.
