ssadm lock

ssadm lock manipulates the lock that protects a policy from simultaneous modification by multiple administrators.

Usage:

ssadm lock -w policy

ssadm lock -c policy

ssadm lock -w prints a line of text describing the status of the lock.

ssadm lock -c forcibly breaks the lock and attempts to terminate (with a SIGHUP signal) the previous holder of the lock.

For example:

# ssadm lock -w Initial
Lock held by admin@198.41.0.6 process id:8977
# ssadm lock -c Initial
# ssadm lock -w Initial
Lock available
