The next version is said to at least remove the lockfiles again (despite of the fact that either the Linux as the Bartz version had a *totally* screwed lockfile handling at all; it simply didn't work). Look into patch-c, you are welcome to improve the lockfile handling. If there's a lockfile around, examine it, and see if you can send a signal to the process mentioned. If this is unsuccesful, it's a stale lockfile and can safely be removed. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
