Lock files (LCK. files)

Files in the BNU spool directories that have filenames beginning with the characters LCK. are lock files. Lock files prevent duplicate conversations and transfers. The names have the form:

LCK.system.grade

where system is the name of the remote system and grade is the System-Job-grade being processed. The lock file contains the process ID of the process holding the lock. This process ID remains valid as long as the process is active.
