restic - unlock

Sooner or later you will find that you're unable to do a backup or some backup checking because the repository is locked. This script will unlock the repository and is called 'restic-unlock'. Its not run from a cronjob, just from your terminal whenever its needed.

But BEWARE of killing a running restic backup unnecessarily.
