The lock file is in the "data-dir": $ smart config --show data-dir /var/lib/smart But it's a real file lock, so it doesn't remain once the process died. Are you really sure there is no smart process still running ? ps -ef | grep smart | grep -v grep If that line shows anything, kill those processes. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGHyv5r3NMWliFcXcRAgH6AKCE762f1BAFYFyHJTwXQdP8Y6RE1ACgvs2D syjopRmGyCdTsqu8iGMvz2U= =NsUF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
