Not really. As I mentioned, root is the only user that gets a true lock on the database, as root is the only user that can write to the database. So, the others really don't care about open file handles and the like. You could have prolly fixed this by grepping the output from lsof to see what was currently locking the db. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
