how can I tell when my shared text file is in use?

[Dave Horsfall]

Instead of trying to remove the current object, why not simply rename it
instead?  Our 'install' command procedure renames things from say /bin/fred
to /bin/fred$$old (if told to do so with a - flag) where '$$' is of course
the shell pid.  It also chmod 0 and chown root it as well, and such things
show up on a nightly inspection of the file system.
