Fuser (Unix)

The Unix command fuser is used to show which processes are using a specified file, file system, or unix socket. For example, to check process IDs and users accessing a USB drive:

$ fuser -m -u /mnt/usb1 /mnt/usb1: 1347c(root) 1348c(guido) 1349c(guido)

The command displays the process identifiers of processes using the specified files or file systems. In the default display mode, each file name is followed by a letter denoting the type of access:

c : current directory.
e : executable being run.
f : open file.
F : open file for writing.
r : root directory.
m : mmap'ed file or shared library

The command can also be used to check what processes are using a network port:

$ fuser -v -n tcp 80 USER PID ACCESS COMMAND 80/tcp: root 3067 F.... (root)httpd apache 3096 F.... (apache)httpd apache 3097 F.... (apache)httpd

The command returns a non-zero code if none of the files are accessed or in case of a fatal error. If at least one access has succeeded, fuser returns zero. The output of "fuser" may be useful in diagnosing "resource busy" messages arising when attempting to unmount filesystems.
