When off, no lock is performed (contrast with <a href="force.html">FORCE</a>). </p> <table border=0 cellpadding=4> <tr valign=top> <td><strong><font color="red">WARNING</font></strong></td> <td><p>If LOCK is off, MHonArc will process the archive even if another MHonArc is active for the archive. This can lead to archive corruption. </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p>A reason to turn off LOCK is if MHonArc is being invoked from another process (like <b>Procmail</b>) that has its own locking mechanism to insure multiple instances cannot be accessing the same archive at the same time. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Default Setting</h2> <p>On. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Resource Variables</h2> <p>N/A </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Examples</h2> <p>None. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Version</h2> <p>2.3.0 </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>See Also</h2> <p> <a href="force.html">FORCE</a>, <a href="lockdelay.html">LOCKDELAY</a>, <a href="lockmethod.html">LOCKMETHOD</a>, <a href="locktries.html">LOCKTRIES</a> </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <address> 00/10/28 11:13:02<br> <img align="top" src="../monicon.gif" alt=""> <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/mhonarc.html" ><strong>MHonArc</strong></a><br> Copyright © 1998-1999 <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/" >Earl Hood</a>, <a href="mailto:mhonarc@pobox.com" >mhonarc@pobox.com</a><br> </address> </body> </html>
