Files opened by other processes [message #30923]

Has anybody been able to use IDL to detect if *other* processes
have a particular file open?

As an example, let's say I would like to open a file for read access
after it has been written by an FTP process. I certainly don't
want to open it until the file transfer is complete...but how will I
know?

I looked at the FSTAT function, but unless I've overlooked
something, I don't think it will suffice. This is on a UNIX system
running SunOS, so if I have to write something in C for IDL to
spawn, I guess I'll be posting to another newsgroup soon. ;- )
