Subj: 	waiting for sandbox lock via flock, re: xexternal pool

Ken, the error that your getting is completely internal to your sandbox.
There's a file in the sandbox, <sandbox_base>/src/.BCSlock, which has
an flock taken out on it from each b* process run in the sandbox.  This
ensures only one operation at a time, so, for eg. if you had bci's going
in two different windows, they'd coordinate via .BCSlock.

You probably recently ^C'd a process that left the flock on the .BCSlock
file's inode hanging around.  You can just remove .BCSlock and it will
get re-created ok with a new inode and then all should work normally.

Subject: More bsubmit problems


Rich,

I'm having the following problem (again):

kcs@letterman> bsubmit ./Tcl/tk/library/demos/mkFloor.tcl
>> FATAL ERROR in /usr/sde/tools/alpha_ace/bin/ode/bsubmit:
>> waiting for sandbox lock via flock()

I'm trying to submit to xexternal.  According web page,
the decx11 pool is open for submits so I *should* be able
to submit to the xexternal tree, shouldn't I?

Rich,

For some inexplicable reason, this file has magically reappeared:

> xexternal/logs/bsubmit.hold

with the contents:

> : Ken_Settle; Date: 6/5/95; Time: 15:41
> ./Tcl/tcl/porting.notes

I don't know why this happened but once again I'm stuck trying
to bsubmit to xexternal.

Thanks,
Ken

Actually it never went away. It shows that this file is stuck in the bsubmit 
process.  Resubmit this file. Also check for a  .BCSlock file in your sandbox 
and nuke it.
