kill rouge file handles

[NewsBot]

Hi all,

 

I have a server that runs some nightly processing.

However, if anyone leaves a file open, the nightly process literally freezes.

I don't have access to the kernel code of the software; just a user mode c-like scripting language, so there's not much in the way of being able to handle this kind of error gracefully.

 

I am looking for a way to kill all file handles in a specified folder, before this nightly process kicks in. I have seen something about NtQuerySystemInformation, but that is kernel level stuff. I was wondering if there are any other ways to accomplish this. I know that in computer managment snap in, there is a share viewer with a kill option on the right click menu. Is there an easy way to do this same enumeration / kill?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
