The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Yes, I'm aware a file in use can still be accessed.
We're going to have to disagree on the second point. I would not expect an admin to be familiar with the (subtle?) nuances of the myriad of applications likely running on the system.

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? ;-)
