I'm new to Linux, and I need to know if there is a way to check which service or program is using a particular configuration file.

A different deployment on the server is failing, and the error message is:

file /opt/deployment/dev/deploy.cfg busy

This means that the file deploy.cfg is busy.

  1. How may I tell who or what keeps the file busy.
  2. How would I make the file "not busy".
