Problem : If the LOCKFILE option is set and two or more process have finished transfering their files, which process will remove the LOCKFILE? Problem : When starting AFD via mon_ctrl dialog the process do not get the environment variables set in .profile (.bashrc, .kshrc, etc) when using SSH. Problem : After a system crash and the system comes back and AFD is started via /etc/init.d/afd, it can happen that it AFD does not start. Reason : Since the command 'afd -a' starts init_afd and this puts itself in the background it can happen that the process afd is terminated before init_afd has put itself as daemon in the background. Solution: Process afd must wait for init_afd to initialize.
