Subject: What is the use of /var/lock/news
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2000 22:16:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000114221642.A10969@sre-4-139.urbanet.ch> (raw)
Hello to all,
By which program are created lck file in /var/lock/news ?
What us the purpose of these files ?
Are they created just in order to spoil somewhat the
pleasure reading the news ?
Inadvertently I did not notice the creation of such
a file....
Result....in all my subscribed groups the different
summary settings were just gone....
Is there away to get rid of such lock files ?
I know of course the command rm...
I mean with getting rid....that such damm...files
are not created anymore...unless they are really
required for a specific purpose justifying not
to avoid their creation....
So far I do not see any use...except to be really
annoying.
It's perhaps somewhat out of topic...but since
I have no idea which program is creating these
"great" files...ie. leafnode or gnus....I should
like to apologize for inconviences.
Many thanks for your answers
