Simplistically, the lockfile program that comes with procmail allows an age to be specified --- if the lockfile is older than a certain amount of time it is removed --- I used this feature often: If you specify a locktimeout then a lockfile will be removed by force after locktimeout seconds have passed since the lockfile was last modified/created (most likely by some other program that unexpectedly died a long time ago, and hence could not clean up any leftover lockfiles). -- Bruce Momjian http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
