[Monotone-devel] serving and locking databases |

Hi all,
The basic question is as follows:
I sometimes find it useful to start a monotone server on my laptop
using 'mtn serve'.
However, when I interrupt the server process using a kill command to
send it a TERM signal, it leaves the database locked. Any operation
against the locked database will fail seems.
How can I remove the stale lock and get my database back in a useful state ?
The longer explanation is
that I use monotone from a (complicated) perl script that calls
monotone and other developer tools for different operations on
different software packages (ci, co, pull, sync, tag, etc). I would
like to add a serve operation to the list such that I can setup
convenient monotone servers for short lapses of time. However the
stale locks are a serious problem. This is part of a software
developer collaboration suite, and solving the stale lock problem is
critical for its useful operation.
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
--
Hugo
