IDENTIFY A PROCESSES 
The command fuser is very
 handy when you want to know
 which processes or users
 have a file open. Its basic
 syntax is:
 
 /etc/fuser -u /usr/my_application/foo
 
 You must enter the file's full
 path name, as shown above.
 
 The fuser command is located
 under the /etc directory on HP-UX,
 AIX and SCO flavors. You must
 login as root to use it.
 
 Its output is a raw list of
 processes id numbers and users login
 names.
 
 Please refer to your Unix man pages
 to find more about this useful command.
