PROUTIL BUSY Qualifier

Determines whether the database is currently in use. This information is useful before performing a database backup or shutting down a database. A database is in use if it is being used in single-user mode, multi-user mode, or by a Progress utility program.

To get the information, you must run PROUTIL with the BUSY qualifier and test the command return code in a UNIX script or Windows batch file.
