yes, easily - as long as that process has sufficient rights, of course.
Try this:
Open two shell windows on a Unix box:
In shell 1 create a file with your favorite editor, save it and keep it open.
In shell 2 delete this file and follow this with an ls command - you won't see
the file anymore.
If you save it again in shell 1 (and it should tell you that it's writing a new
file!) and do another ls in shell 2 it will be there again.
So semaphores are the better way...
