This seems like a bug that needs to be filed with Apple. If you open a document in Windows on a share, Windows will tell you that it's already open and prompt you if you want to open it read-only or wait until its unlocked.

Hello

System Events define a disk item property named "busy status".
It is defined as read only.

Is there a way to change this status thru a shell script?

I wish to write a script used as a substitute to the Open function in iWork components.

These programs doesn't set the "busy status" to busy when they open a doc.
So, it's technically possible to a user B to open a file stored on a network when the user A is already using the file.
The result is: the document is killed.


As I can't change the busy status, at this time I hope (just hope) that if a shell script give the ability to set the flag to busy, an attempt to open it will send an alert to the second user.
