java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: Couldn't get lock for /opt/rsa/am/server/logs/rsaserv.log

Cause

File permissions in the /opt/rsa/am/server directory or with rsaserv.sh and rsautil.sh have been changed.

Resolution

Rebooting the affected server should reset the permission and release any locks on the system.
