WhatsOpen is a quick utility that came out of an MMUG meeting. Someone posed a question regarding how to tell what application has a volume open so they could quit out of it and eject the removable media.
It is a common error, and the program started simply. It has formed into more of a process management utility at this point, allowing control over processes (pause/play), state information, and more.

For those who didn't understand the poll, WhatsOpen currently will not kill a process as the super user. This means you cannot kill anything your user is not the owner of. In the next release this behavior will be changed so if you kill an application when super user mode is enabled it will kill the application as the super user.

forming, quite possibly into The app i ignite when managing unruly programs. i can't decide if the developer is giving my little brain too much info. ;) i know it's for a little different task, but i like it for a few different reasons.
i mean, this is the most thorough application informant i've ever seen. it tells me so much about wWhat's oOpen that i wanna shut all my programs down and regulate what they do with my junk.
i mean, shoot, stickies had like 20-30 things open and ill i had that punk doing was acting as a background.
and yeah, the processor allocation per app is what's really important performance-wise, i know. but this serves up the info that cues me into all sorts of directions.
and the developer is behind it 100%. it should be a prime competitor real soon. maybe number 2-3 on my list, which is really good.
tightening up the look/feel is big for me. i hate booty lookin apps. i want quartz in every empty box and field! probably barf, but those kinda options rule. like what homeboy did at unsanity, adding quartz to all of my gui menu drop downs! that's what the mac community seems like it would love.
download this. but listen you pair-downers. you know. you cats who have one app running and every-single bell and whistle turned off - much respect - more like performance-tweakers. i'd stay clear as all hell from this app. you're gunna get so much info about stuff you didn't know was cracked under the hood that you might miss some ZZZs at night or need to up that riddlin prescip. ignorance is bliss . ;)
gave it 4 below cuz i think there's still room for a little more tinkerability.

Anyone out there know what MIB queries / response fields I'd find this type of data in while using a sysctl() call?

Very often you decide to eject a specific volume, so it would be helpful to just select the volume to find out which program has open files.
Thx.

I have frequently experienced that I am prevented from unmounting server volumes because some application has a file open. (Or so I'm told, by the error message that appears.)
My main suspect is Spotlight. It seems that Spotlight will not always quit its search agent cleanly after a search. This is particularly when searching Windows servers.
