Error Notification About Lock File

When you issue a cacaoadm subcommand, it is possible that another user issued a command at exactly the same time. However, only one cacaoadm subcommand can be run at a time.

On Solaris OS, the following error message is generated:

If cacaoadm daemon is running, it is busy executing another command.
Otherwise remove lock file /var/opt/SUNWcacao/run/lock

On Linux, the following error message is generated:

If cacaoadm daemon is running, it is busy executing another command.
Otherwise remove lock file /var/opt/sun/cacao/run/lock.

The first recommended action when you receive this notification message is to wait a few moments and retry.

If you receive the same notification message when you retry, then it is possible that a lock file has not been removed by the common agent container management daemon. This can happen in the case of a crash. The lock file prevents further cacaoadm subcommands from being run.

Remove the lock file from the location indicated in the error message.
