# fps: File locking ProcesseS (CLI version of Powertoys FileLocksmith)
Which process using folder or file?

In windows, when you move file, delete file or eject disk, probably, you can see error messgae 'File Is Open in Another Program' which very annoying.
Fps was designed for this situation, you can automate taskkill, and automate safe eject. like

```bat
@echo off
@rem the fps.exe file should be next to bat

@rem get bat's disk
set "HERE=%~dp0."
set DISK=%HERE:~0,3%

@rem get pid of this script selfs (for exclude)
title diskkill
for /f "tokens=2 delims=," %%a in ('tasklist /v /fo csv ^| findstr /i "diskkill"') do set "mypid=%%~a"

@rem kill all of tasks which running on disk
set TRY=0
:KILL
set /a "c=%TRY%+1"
set ARGS=
for /F "tokens=*" %%B in ('%HERE%\fps.exe -f pid -H') do call :AddArgs %%B
if DEFINED ARGS if "x%TRY%" != "x5" ( taskkill /T%ARGS% & goto :KILL )

@rem Eject target disk
powershell -NoProfile "$disk = (New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application).Namespace(17).ParseName('%DISK%'); $disk.InvokeVerb('Eject'); do { Sleep 1 } until ($disk.Type.Equals('Removable Disk') )"

exit 0
:AddArgs
if "x%1" == "x%mypid%" exit /b 0
set "ARGS=%ARGS% /PID %1"
exit /b 0
```

Or, you can create simple embedable script like lua too.
