That's not quite right.  /dev/tty is "magic" ... it refers to whatever
the controlling terminal of the current process is.  I can't
immediately see why it's not working, but I also can't quite figure
out what that line is meant to accomplish.  You won't see it mentioned
in the output of fuser unless someone has explicitly opened it, but
referring to it should still get you a file descriptor that duplicates
whatever your controlling terminal is.  Unless you don't have one.
