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

hostname name of host server

EXIT STATUS

0 Successful operation. 

1 If not root.
