SYNOPSIS
       hostname

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

       active client may cause applications to fail in an unexpected manner.

		      hostname.  hostname is the name of host server.

EXIT STATUS
       returns:

       0  Successful operation.

       3  If unable to contact server (RPC).
