• runlockads is a utility to remove all lock files if the linux keysight ads software crashes and leaves locked files. 
  
• to use it, download runlockads.zip, unzip it in your linux ~/bin directory, and to use it from your home directory, type the command "runlockads apps/ads" or "~/bin/runlockads apps/ads" if you didnt rehash
