RE: Checking thew ststus of a file

Lsof displays all the files which are used / opened and its dependent
libraries .You can see all the opened files specific to a user from
the console using lsof -u <username>

Thanks,

Hello,
How can I check the status of a file (open, closed) in a shell script?
Is there an example available?
Can I use lsof command and how?

Thanks in advance,
Kumar
