OSR5 FAQ

Is it possible to have more than one instance of custom running ?

John Boland posted the following a while ago (please change the reference to SCO OS 5.0.2 (5.0.2Dp) with the one related to the 5.0.x version you're using) :

 === cut here ===

 
 The lock file is:

 
 /var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.2Dp/custom/client.lock

 
 Move this file aside and you can run as many Software Managers (custom)
 as you like.

 
 === cut here ===

More recent versions put the file in a different place, but just do a "find / -name client.lock".
