What screen is active?

[arthur kogan]

Hi Russell,

the UNIX command that shows you which process (if any) is using a particular
file (in your case a .qkc file) is "fuser". With "-u" switch it will also show
you who the user is.

e.g. "fuser -u myscreen.qkc" will show you which process/user is using file
myscreen.qkc

HOWEVER... in both the VMS or UNIX cases we should remember that QUICK process
"cashes" in memory the .qkc files it uses, so if it needs to run a screen it
has already ran before, it may not need to "re-read" the .qkc file, and thus
this will not be shown.

By the way, you can also use this command to see who is currently attached to
your Interbase database, e.g. fuser -u mydb.gdb.
