[lug] Re: Unlock .username.pop lock

Sure. If you have a crontab daemon installed, run 'crontab -e' as
root, to edit the cronjab. It will open an editor. It may already
have stuff in there, so don't delete anything. You'll want to add
something like this to it:

0 * * * * rm /var/spool/mail/.username.pop lock

Then save the file and exit, and the cron job will be saved. This
will tell cron to run 'rm /var/spool/mail/.username.pop lock' every
hour. You can have it run however often you like. if you check
crontab(5), it'll give you more detailed information on cron jobs.
Run 'man 5 crontab' to read it.
