fuser(1m)                  DG/UX 4.30                   fuser(1m)



     NAME
          fuser - identify processes using a file or file structure

     SYNOPSIS
          /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 t 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' 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.
