Is there any way to determine if a file is locked other than llkob.
I am trying to write a script that can tell if the file about to be
opened is already being used by someone else.  Without such a check, the
process just bombs.  

I know how to use llkob, but it can't check for locked objects on
any node other than the node it is called from.  I know that I could
crp onto the node I'm interested in, but I'm afraid that might slow things
down too much.

Any suggestions?
