Shorewall users - Feb 2009 - /var/lock/subsys/shorewall

This complaint about a lock is appearing 
and an OpenVPN tunnel has failed.

dalton:~# shorewall restart > ShorewallReport
touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/shorewall'': No such file or
directory
dalton:~#

http://carnot.yi.org/ShorewallReport
is visible in case anyone is interested.

A cursory search hasn''t illuminated the 
lock.  What is the significance of 
/var/lock/subsys/shorewall?

Thanks,         ... Peter E.

''man shorewall.conf'' and search for the SUBSYSLOCK option.
