Subject: more on locked folders

I also got the "can't open folder lock, access is read only" and then
"folder is : open by another process" message.  I didn't have any
problems getting the process id, but nothing happened when I typed "kill
(number)" and I ended up waiting a week for the system to kill the
process.  What happened?

% I also got the "can't open folder lock, access is read only" and then
% "folder is : open by another process" message.  I didn't have any
% problems getting the process id, but nothing happened when I typed "kill
% (number)" and I ended up waiting a week for the system to kill the
% process.  What happened?

Well, if you didn't immediately (or thereabouts) get a message saying
something to the effect of job killed, try 
kill -9 pid 
where pid is the process Id # of the process.
