Public bug reported: dirivsh does not delete the dirvish/lock_file under some error conditions, specifically when the client server being backed up is unreachable and there is a pre-client command specified in the default.conf file. Below are the details from one such example. This happens frequently since upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04.
