Also it seems to be a lot more complicated than just to make sure, that the lockdirectory is removed on startup (and there are already a lot of files and directories that are removed on startup by rc.sysinit, so it is more a common way to do it). The best way I know would be to be able to identify whether or not a system was rebooted since a file was created, but given there are systems that do not have a hardware clock, I do not know of a way to identify it. Is there, e.g. a file in /proc or /sys that will have a unique content that only changes every time a system is powered up? Regards, Till
