Easiest way:


     showlock /full/path/to/appl/filepro/filename/key

The output isn't "user friendly", but each line consists of three numbers:

     Starting offset (in hex)
     Length (in hex)
     PID of lock owner (in decimal)

There is a wrapper script (I believe written by Bob Stockler) called 
"lock.info", which takes this output and makes it "user friendly", which I 
believe is run via:

     lock.info filename

It will show the PID that owns the lock.  You can then use "ps -fpNNNN" to 
see what that process is.  The "when" is not something the system keeps 
track of.
