HI Guys

the site im working at has been having issues with its diskstorage unit.running 
out of space
even though there is seemingly penty of disk available, I believe that this may 
be because  the  images on disk are not getting moved to tape in time. I have 
re jigged the schedule so that the migration to tape happens earlier (there was 
previously a multi hour delay between the two jobs).

However during my investigation  i have noticed what seems to be old lock 
files. 
does anyone know what is the purpose of these, 
why do they not get cleaned up  and
can they be deleted safely if not

Were running nbu 6.0 mp 4 on solaris 10

cutdown listing below
thanks
