When I responded I made a lot of assumptions:
  1. The current machine is named something like AAclient1 or BBclient2.
  2. The server for this client is AA1xx.example.com if the client's hostname starts with AA.
  3. The server for this client is BB1xx.example.com if the client's hostname starts with BB.
  4. The point of this exercise is to ping this client's server.
But, of course I had a typo in my response in message $6 in this thread (that has now been corrected) so it didn't work at all. If any of my assumptions were wrong, it might help to have a better explanation of what you're trying to do than just showing us code that isn't working and having us guess at what you're trying to do.

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). ATTRIBUTES
