<h2><a name="description">Description</a></h2>
<p>FORCE causes MHonArc to override the lock on
the archive and perform the operations requested.
</p>
<p>When MHonArc processes an archive, it locks the
archive so other MHonArc processes do not try
to modify the archive at the same time. However, if
MHonArc abnormally terminates, the lock may not
be released, causing all future MHonArc processes
to fail in performing any archive operations. If
you get a message from MHonArc that it cannot
lock an archive, and you know the archive is not in use
by another MHonArc process, use the FORCE resource.
</p>
<table border=0 cellpadding=4>
<tr valign=top>
<td><strong>NOTE</strong></td>
<td><p>The alternative approach is to manually remove the
lockfile (see <a href="lockfile.html">LOCKFILE</a>).
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>The FORCE option should be used with care to avoid
archive corruption. FORCE is active only for the current
MHonArc process.
</p>
<table border=0 cellpadding=4>
<tr valign=top>
<td><strong><font color="red">WARNING</font></strong></td>
<td><p>Having two, or more, MHonArc processes
processing the same archive with FORCE enabled can lead to
archive corruption.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>MHonArc will still try to perform a normal lock before forcing the issue.
