This may be more of a Linux question, but I'm doing this from Python. .....
How can I know if anything (I don't care who or what!) is in the middle of using a particular file? This comes in context of needing to copy a file BUT only if I can verify that something else doesn't have an open write handle to that file. IOW - I need to decline the operation if something else hasn't finished writing to the file. How can I know? Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
