Stoping 'lockfile' from forcing lock

1999-04-30 16:14:05

Situation:

        I got away for a week, and come back to find over 1000 messages  
waiting to be d/l and sorted.
        
        No problem really, except that it takes a long time for them to be  
sorted, and so I get this after awhile:
        

        lockfile: Forcing lock on "/usr/spool/mail/tjl.lock"
        procmail: Forcing lock on "/usr/spool/mail/tjl.lock"

Which of course causes all sorts of problems as the mail starts to get  
sorted again, resulting in a lot of them being caught in my duplicate-check.

Does 'LOCKTIMEOUT=0' tell both lockfile and procmail to NOT force the lock?
