RFH: stale (f)lock in /proc/locks - process no longer exists

Hi, I have several shell scripts using "/usr/bin/flock -x /run/lock/jenkins-ip.lock" to acquiring the exclusive lock. Today they hang, while the lock is owned by a process which no longer exists: # ls -i /run/lock/jenkins-ip.lock 766711440 /run/lock/jenkins-ip.lock # grep 766711440 /proc/locks 1
