I am struggling to delete a job. Error Message I get is It's being accessed by another user. When I veiw the process in DS Administator I am able to veiw the job that is locked at record level. I took the PID,UserNo and Inode No. from DS Administrator. When I view the process in Unix. I dont see any process running for that PID. So I cant KILL that process from Unix.
Secondly Cleanup resources is not working. And to make matter worst I dont have administratir rights on the project so that I can go through the standard procedure and UNLOCK the job.
Is there any other approach I can try? Any help will be appreciated.

Craig,
I am using the same user-id against which the lock is is, But still when I try to unlock the job, It throws a message Insufficient privileges to perform lock maintenance. So does the theory, who locks! can unlock! fail here? Alos why cant I see the process running on my Unix Screen?
Sorry, guess I was thinking of something else - a DS.TOOLS 'logout', whih removes any locks as well. For this, you'll need to turn it over to an Admin AFAIK.
What does 'LIST.READU' or DS.TOOLS show?

evdf&!DS.ADMIN!& is a special value that is used to create a shared lock of the same name to indicate that there is a client connected to the evdf project. This is used by several Administrator utilities to check quickly whether they can have exclusive access (no connected clients) to the project. Hence the "&!DS.ADMIN!&".
