Kill process that raises Device or resource busy: '/dev/ttyUSB0'?

Question

I connect to my Arduino board with the following Python code.

device=glob.glob(\"/dev/ttyUSB*\")[0]
time.sleep(1)
arduino = serial.Serial(device, 115200, timeout         


        

Answer 1

You can use

$ fuser /dev/ttyUSB0

to list the PIDs of the processes using the file. Alternatively, if your fuser command supports it you can use the -k option to kill them.
