The one which first comes to mind are lock files placed to prevent certain cron-initiated jobs from running right after a reboot. Or locks preventing certain daemons from accepting connections. Such locks often are used to protect net bandwidth when it is needed for real-time use. A reboot of some random box on the lan should not break such locks. And /var/lock is the standard place to put and look for lock files. Got to run; can't contiue to write right now.... -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
