At the risk of exposing my deep ignorance, that doesn't tell me anything. If I should run it in a terminal, it doesn't tell the terminal anything either.
I know of no other way of initiating that command. Further investigation on your part would reveal: man fuser NAME fuser - identify processes using files or sockets
And I don't believe the terminal cares, but you might.
And I do. What I was saying is that entering <fuser /dev/dsp> at a prompt produced no output at all, but a return to the prompt. I interpret that as meaning that there is nothing to report.
On the chance that the command needs superuser status to do its thing, I did that, with the same result. if superuser needed it it would say so or give you command not found.
While a lot of the documentation is written at levels that fail to provide *complete* understanding for the novice and not so novice, it will give you a basic idea what is going on. It *is* necessary for the pbkc to make effort. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
