Thanks Scrutinizer,
fuser works perfect!
Btw, I realized that it output the file in use, now I've to exclude it from gzip!
Unfortunately gzip cannot exclude file.... Maybe fuser can show the file NOT in use?

WOPS! Unfortunately lsof seems doesn't work from crontab...
If I execute the Yoda's script from shell it works, but at crontab level it just gzip all the *.cap files!!!
But why ?!?!?
