Greetings,
How can I unlock a file that is locked... short of rebooting the server?
I've seen it where the file is closed, but for some reason the server
still holds onto it and the file can't be edited/renamed/deleted, etc..
and the only way so far I've been able to fix it, is to reboot the
server. Is there some way to unlock a file in W2K without rebooting?
On another note... when I upgrade an application on my Linux
workstations I can do it while people have the old version running.
When the people close the program and open it again it is now running
the new version. This allows me to upgrade programs on our Linux
Terminal Servers during working hours. Is there anyway in a W2K
terminal server / W2K workstation to upgrade a program while it is
running and have the same effect?
Is there someway to turn off this aweful file locking that W2K has? It
seems to cause more problems then it's worth. I know.. it's suppost to
keep someone from editing a file while someone else has it open, etc..
but that should be a function of the program opening the file... not the
O/S.. but that's not my question.... my question is..
A) Can I unlock a locked file
B) is there some way to do upgrades to applications while people are
using them, similar to how I can in Linux...
