NAME
      clear_locks - clear locks held on behalf of an NFS client
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/clear_locks [ -s ]  hostname
 


DESCRIPTION
      The clear_locks command removes all file, record, and  share
      locks  created  by the hostnameand held on the current host,
      regardless of which process created or owns the locks.
 
      This command can be run only by the super-user.
 
      This command should only be used to repair the rare case  of
      a  client crashing and failing to clear held locks. Clearing
      locks held by an active client  may  cause  applications  to
      fail in an unexpected manner.

            held by the server hostname.
