gx-remove-locks
gx-remove-locks, part of the gx-map system, is an administrative command. It checks the status of any lock files in the gx-map data directory. For each lock file found, it asks whether to remove it.
Non-interactive use is not supported.
A lock file should only be removed if it's stale (e.g., if the command that created it crashed before it was able to remove the lock). Even then it's strongly recommended to determine why the command crashed before removing the lock.
Lock files are created by the gx-ca-update, gx-check-requests, gx-check-index, and gx-db-check-requests commands.
Option processing is done using the Perl Getopt::Long module.
Options may be specified with a single or double leading '-' character. Option names may be abbreviated to whatever is unique. Arguments may be separated either by a blank or by an '=' character. For example, ``-foobar 42'', ``--foobar=42'', and ``-foob 42'' would all be equivalent.
