Yes, and his next problem may be how to find the 'lockfile'.
I think I used to find it in root ?
Perhaps it is to be found in your 'home' dir ?

ps like find and other unix commands has a mass of acrobatic switches.
When will some one add front-ends to make this garbage useable,
like mc is ?
BTW can ps or something tell which working-dir a proccess
was called from? Often I've got 2, 3, 4 mc editing/reading files
in the same dir, and I want to cd to this dir for another VT, without loosing
my place in the open file(s), to see which dir it is.

The muLINUX documentation has good utility and educational value.
Standard Linux man is not satisfactory:
made for paper output,
the 'page breaks' are most annoying,
an old Slakwr version used to indicate at what percentage of the file
one was currently at; new versions don't.
Using mulinux to run the bloated monster netscape is IMO absurd.
Where mulinux shines is when your hd is down or booting via
fd0 is needed for some reason - perhaps to get into a WINbox.
