I just got some support mail...anyone have any experiences with sm_mon -l? I just got mail from someone saying they heard it would help break locks, but had not tested it themselves.
sm_mon -l is used to cleanup UNIX NLM locks, and ask their clients to reclaim. This is similar to a server reboot. However, it does not remove the locks permanently. It is up to the application (by unlocking the lock) or client administrators (by restarting statd on their client boxes) to clean up the locks.
