Program Description:
The unmap_ls command is used to remove a LS Server entry in the
portmapper that does not correspong to a running LS. Abnormal termination
can result in the portmapper thinking that the LS Server is using a
port when it is not.
This program loops through each of the program numbers that could
be used by the LS Server. If it finds a LS Server that does not respond
then it will unmap it from the portmapper after prompting the user.
The user of this command must make sure that the LS Server is not
processing a long job because it will appear to the portmapper exactly
like a crashed LS Server. If you unmap a running LS Server from the
portmapper it will no longer be usable and could crash.
This command can be run without any options in which case it will
prompt the user before it unmaps any portmapper entries.

force Unmap any non-responsive LS Servers without
prompting the user.
