AIX file descriptors

There was a data file that was removed from Oracle 9i when the DROP TABLESPACE was ran, however, the filesystem space was not reclaimed because there is an open file descriptor. I know that if the database is restarted it will, of course, close the file descriptor and release the space.

Is there any way that the file descriptor can be closed and release the space? The filesystem is a production database so they won’t shut it down until the weekend.

Thanks, I am not a C programmer, so don’t know how this could be done. I am just an IBM PSSP admin.
