clear_locks(1M)

NAME

     clear_locks - clear locks held on behalf of an NFS client

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/sbin/clear_locks [-s] hostname

DESCRIPTION

     The clear_locks command removes all file, record, and  share
     locks  created  by the hostnameand held on the current host,
     regardless of which process created or owns the locks.

     locks held by an active client  may  cause  applications  to
     fail in an unexpected manner.
