FIOC_INUSE_RETRY

This configuration variable defines the number of seconds LISTSERV will try to open a file which is locked by an external process.

FIOC_INUSE_RETRY=15

Sometimes LISTSERV may try to open a file (such as a list file) while that file is locked by an external process (for instance, a nightly backup program). If the open attempt times out, an error is generated. This functionality is not available on Unix because file locking is not implemented.

The default value is 10.
