I'd somehow missed -m in the fuser manual.  I still like the information
output from lsof, but you're right fuser is simpler for just getting rid

    Yes, I am a criminal.  My crime is that of curiosity.  My crime
    is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what
    they look like.  My crime is that of outsmarting you, something
    that you will never forgive me for.
