Yes.

This trick works as you try on OS 9 and Windows, where OS allow open file
exclusively.

OS X (unix) do not provide exclusive access,
So Apple recommend to use additional help file in zero byte,
        -- lock file.

If it exists then you know that db is opened.
Otherwise it is closed.


Also note that tests made by developers that use Valentina Server show that
Valentina Server can do connect/disconnect in 17 times faster then
open/close works with remote computer.
