Request to reopen question 151431

This question was closed as off topic but it is perfectly valid and on topic. The OP was not very clear and at first glance it might look like a programming issue (I imagine that is why it was closed) but it is not. It is simply about how one can find out which process is accessing a particular file on Linux. It has also been answered quite correctly (lsof).

I can understand if the question was closed because it was cross-posted on U&L but in that case, it should be closed for the correct reasons and a comment explaining why cross posting is frowned upon added.
