A folder lock would have to be initiated when we’re talking about mail, in Linux, other process that runs, if you try to use either The wrong account, then it will tell you that a folder lock is in place and remind you “are you root?” When you try to use a program more than one time. I believe this is so that the controlling process Can only happen once, because you wouldn’t want two instances of something like synaptic, running at the same time, because one of them has to have permission to modify files or to make addition changes or deletions, so root take control of the process, and locks it out, so that you don’t have two competing processes trying to do the same thing.
The way you take care of that is you give it a signal 9 kill and this will release the locks process because one of them will be terminated. If you don’t have a lock created, then you have two processes fighting against each other, and it doesn’t make sense, secondly, there should only be one account that makes the changes, so if root has control, then it will complete the process. That way you don’t have two or three instances of the same account being logged in and trying to access that one process.
