Problem Description
My nightly job failed with the message - Lock File Existed! Backup Aborted! What does it mean and what should I do?
Cause
The file 'schedule.lck' is placed in the catalog directory /usr/lib/edge/lists/simple_job when an unattended job is kicked off. It should be removed when the job completes, it is only left when the job does not finish or killed.
Solution
Removing the file /usr/lib/edge/lists/simple_job/schedule.lck will allow the job to start at the next scheduled time. However, you may want to check the tail of your backup_master.log and verify_master.log to see if any processes are awaiting user intervention.
