clear_locks

clear_locks(1M) 					  System Administration Commands					   clear_locks(1M)

NAME

       clear_locks - clear locks held on behalf of an NFS client

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/clear_locks [-s] hostname

DESCRIPTION

       The clear_locks command removes all file, record, and share locks created by the hostname and held on the current host, regardless of which
       process created or owns the locks.

       This command can be run only by the super-user.

       This command should only be used to repair the rare case of a client crashing and failing to clear held locks. Clearing locks  held  by	an
       active client may cause applications to fail in an unexpected manner.

OPTIONS

       -s	Remove all locks created by the current machine and held by the server hostname.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       hostname        name of host server

EXIT STATUS

       0	Successful operation.

       1	If not root.

       2	Usage error.

       3	If unable to contact server (RPC).
