Jon's Commands' "fileIsBusy" command no longer works in Unix-land because Unix allows multiple people to write to a file at the same time. They each create a different version of the file and the last one to write to it wins.
This is considerably different from the OLD WAY, making the "fileIsBusy" command just another victim of the OSX transition.
