Yep, it's in the OS X version (thanks for the nudge) but it doesn't work either (not the way I want it to anyway). ;-) According to the description, it tells whether or not a file is open. Based on my tests with Jon's Commands, Standard Additions and the Finder, a file that is in the process of being downloaded presents a challenge when trying to determine its busy status. <shrug>
OSX changes the way files are shared. No longer does have having a file open for write access prevent another process from opening it for write access, which prevents this command from working. I'm looking into what it would take to fix this, but I haven't found anything worth implementing yet, and if I don't, I'll probably just remove the command.
