That almost sounded like a dialogue from "Resident Evil". :wink:

Ah.... Milla. :D

This really should have been resolved by now. There's no way you should have to reboot the UNIX server just to unlock a job. :?

Did you grep for any UNIX processes related to this job? If those are gone, then all that should be left are internal locks that need to be released. Try these steps:

Code: Select all

cd `cat /.dshome`
. ./dsenv
./bin/uvsh
LOGTO <YourProject>
DS.TOOLS
4. Administer processes/locks 
8. Clear locks held by all processes in a job
<enter job name>
Your shift key will work 'backwards' than normal, so keep that in mind as case is still important. Let is know if that helps.

To get out of DS.TOOLS just press Enter enough times.
To get out of dssh, enter the command QUIT.
To log out from the operating system the command is exit.

Or just reboot the server. :wink:
