<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We run a batch jobstream every night.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Prior to running, I delete all the lock files to
prevent the batch jobs from hanging up on a locked file, which
happened many times before I finally started deleting lockfiles before kicking
off the jobstream.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Problem is, when the users get in and start using
the files the next day, filePro creates new lock files with read write
permission for filePro only.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is ok when running regular filePro apps, but
when users run FPSQL they get errors saying permission is denied on the
lockfile. So they can't run their FPSQL reports unless they log in as
root. I don't want them logging in as root.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why doesn't FPSQL run as filePro with access
to filePro owned files like the rest of the filePro apps? I can run
dclerk on these files just fine, but FPSQL gets a permission error on the
lockfile.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know how to change the umask for filePro so
that it will create lockfiles with read permission for user, group and
other.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can't be going in and changing permissions on the
lockfiles all the time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sure I am not the first to deal with this -
what have others done about this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
