Hi all,

is there a way to close files left open by other programs (which were not
closed properly) from the shell (tcsh)?

Thanks
Ivan

All open files in process are automatically closed when the process
terminates.

It is usually not much of an issue in Unix (as compared to Windows) as
most files can be accessed by multiple users and processes without any
errors.

It's not normally a problem on any OS. When the process
terminates, the OS automatically closes all of the files it had
open.
