  There is no evidence of a recent reboot. The machine must
  have gone down unexpectedly.

  When the machine goes down and whene it goes up, all files
  *@*.lock should be  deleted. Rid should be started and
  stopped, respectively but this is already done  by the 
  /etc/init.d/rid script. Adding an   /etc/init.d/acis script
  that deals with locks sholud fix this issue. Is there
  anythnig else that such a script sholud be doing?
