Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Especially for things like temporary directory cleanup, it'd be handy if
"find" had an option to seek files that are currently open. I can run the
results of "find" through "fuser" but that's a bit hairy. Something like
this would be nice:

  find /var/tmp/spool -type f -not -open -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1000 rm -f

Thanks,
   Tyler
