Hello Roger,

Wow. I'd be leery of wiping out a file that was needed by some active job.

On UNIX, you can easily remove a link to a file despite it being used. Space on disk isn't freed until all file handles referencing the file are closed. I assume PASE emulating AIX works in a similar way.

If you use such a file to pass data between individual applications, this will not work, indeed. But then, the sysadmin should know what's going on on his machine? ;-)

:wq! PoC
