True, but if the LCK is hostname_PID.LCK (in a presumably shared data dir), it is then easy to check if hostname is the current host, and if PID is stale, clear LCK and start normally, else show Warning (can't tell if PID is stale on a remote host) It will clear the lock for the _majority_ of newish users getting caught by a crash or power outage. 0.02 Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
