This is usually done in other languages by trying to move the file to itself. This gives an IO error when the file is in use. The IDL file_move routine is useless for this however (it will either always succeed or always fail, depending on the ALLOW_SAME keyword). But maybe you can spawn a move/mv process and return its error code. It will be platform dependent though...
