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).
