| Is there a standard way to determine if any given file is opened for
reading or writing (or both)? I would like to ftp a file after I
determine that the file is no longer being written to by a daemon
process I have no control over. Is that possible? Thank you.

If you're writing a script, you might look at the fuser command.

A portable way is to stat the file periodically and wait until
the mtime, size, and dev:ino do not change for some interval.

Anything can happen between the time you check it and the time you
start doing things based on the check.
