Hi folks, I don't know if anyone has tried this, but:
 
<LEX> [12:59] DAN,MGR.DBSERVER,PRG:listf ,2
ACCOUNT=  DBSERVER    GROUP=  PRG
 
FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
 
DBSERVER  NMPRG   128W  FB         854        854   1      864  4  *
IPCSRV  * NMPRG   128W  FB         205        205   1      208  1  *
 
 
<LEX> [12:59] DAN,MGR.DBSERVER,PRG:rename ipcsrv,ipcsrv2
EXCLUSIVE VIOLATION: FILE BEING ACCESSED  (FSERR 90)
Open failed on file "IPCSRV.PRG.DBSERVER".  Not renamed. (CIERR 372)
 
All fine and dandy, it behaves as expected. So now we do:
 
<LEX> [12:59] DAN,MGR.DBSERVER,PRG:sh
 
shell/iX> mv /DBSERVER/PRG/IPCSRV /DBSERVER/PRG/IPCSRV2
shell/iX> exit
CWD is "/DBSERVER/PRG".
<LEX> [13:0] DAN,MGR.DBSERVER,PRG:listf ,2
ACCOUNT=  DBSERVER    GROUP=  PRG
 
FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
 
DBSERVER  NMPRG   128W  FB         854        854   1      864  4  *
IPCSRV2 * NMPRG   128W  FB         205        205   1      208  1  *
 
Anyone else tried this? What's up? Is this _supposed_ to be able to happen?
You can easily do this on Unix, but I was quite suprised to be able to pull
it off under the POSIX shell in MPE.
