John, Then rewrite the guideline to say something about correcting left over lock files and not lockfiles in general. This is my problem with the guideline. It is overly general.
Again, the guideline states: > * The product shall ensure that no files exist that can prevent the > product from running (i.e., lock files, temporary files, etc.) i.e., do not use lock files or temporary files to prevent the product from running.
