This might be okay for you, but there's a danger that you
might run a second netscape by accident, in which case
you'll have two netscapes that think they're both, for
example, in charge of your ~/.netscape/bookmarks.html file.
Don't be suprised if you seem to be getting only about half
of the stuff you try and bookmark (as one netscape process
overwrites the file created by the other one). There's
reasons for this lock file.
Personally I have a script called "dropnet":
#!/bin/sh
# dropnet - cleans up after netscape screwups
kill -9 `ps | grep netscape | awk '{print $1}'`
rm $HOME/.netscape/lock
rm $HOME/core >& /dev/null
# Note: you might argue that "killall -9 netscape-communicator"
# would be better than the kill -9 line.
But neither of these scripts are really the answer to
Hyung Kim's question. His point is that there are two
different versions of netscape 4.73 that behave
inconsistently. This sounds like a netscape bug to me,

But neither of these scripts are really the answer to
Hyung Kim's question. His point is that there are two
different versions of netscape 4.73 that behave
inconsistently. This sounds like a netscape bug to me,
and it should probably be reported to them at:
http://help.netscape.com/forms/bug-client.html
When I switched to Netscape 4.7 (when I upgraded to RedHat
6.1, I think), I noticed that I could now run a second
netscape without any annoying error messages, and I thought:
"Ah, finally netscape is smart enough to talk to existing
netscape processes, and it doesn't have to insist on being
the one and only invocation." But it's at least possible
that this new behavior is a bug.
Ah, I was just looking at the Release Notes, and I see that
there are two different Linux versions kicking around...
wouldn't be suprised if this has something to do with it:
http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.7/relnotes/unix-4.7.html#unix
The Linux 2.0 version of Communicator is linked against libc
5.4.22, libm 5.0.8, and XFree86 3.2.
The Linux 2.0 glibc version of Communicator is linked
against glibc 2.0.7 and XFree86 3.3.1
