 Unix Tip #4359- February 16, 2025
 
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.
