Two comments: 

1: This gives false positives in the following scenario:

        /dir/of/interest
        /dir/of/interest/just/kidding/ha/ha

2: Using lsof is more portable than using /proc directly.


However, it doesn't sound like you're looking for a bulletproof
solution, so I guess these points are moot.
