Greetings All, I would like to share this little annoyance I have with Firefox. My home network connects 2 PCs and a laptop. They share files via NFS and I have a 7 year old daughter that likes to blow up the network by running more than one session of Firefox. I found that if I tried to run Firefox in the client PC this morning, a requester would pop up and announce that it is already running and that I should end the session or reboot the PC. I checked the .mozilla folder and found a lock file with a broken link which I deleted. Next, I ran 'ps -A| more' and found that lockd was running. Next, I checked the gconf-'daughter' folder in tmp and removed the lock folder. I had seen this occur before whenever the NFS service hung up on my network. So, I went to the server and shut down the lockd service and reinit the server. Everything came back up and Firefox works properly on the client PC. I was wondering if it is possible to reinit remotely via ssh. I don't think so since the ssh session would be lost and presumably I would hose the network with a broken link and/or a lock file. Has anyone tried this procedure? Or is there a better mousetrap available?
