Hi all,
Does anyone know how I can programatically find out which process
(resolved to human friendly string, i.e. executable) has a lock on a
file.
I have a script running which occassionally fails because it is trying
to delete a file in use by another process. When this happens I want
it to log which process has the lock.
Since it tends to happen when I am never near the computer to catch
it! :(
Usual place to look for these things is sysinternals (now part of
Microsoft). In particular, the handle util:

To get the same programatically you have to delve quite deep
into the NT low-level API. Not tried it myself.
