I found particulary useful im my experience the AIX
"fuser" command.

This little AIX command let to get the PIDs of the
processes that are keeping open a file.

If you use it for example on a syslog file like:

fuser daemon.log
daemon.log:     3461

you will get the PID of the syslogd daemon.

Two related questions:

(1) does an equivalent command exist under FreeBSD?

(2) in the case the answer to the first question would be "NO",
    have the FreeBSD the primitives to build a tools like fuser?

Thank in advance, Peppe.
