Compact -L does not work
The Compact -L  (Copy style: Allow access while compacting) server task incorrectly does not run on a database that you have opened or that is held open by the server (for example, names.nsf, log.nsf, statrep.nsf as well as any system databases).  If you run compact -L on such a database, you receive the following error:
>09:41:49 AM  Compacting dbname.nsf
>09:41:51 AM  Error compacting dbname.nsf: Function to-be-defined
>09:41:51 AM  Database compactor process shutdown
Compact -L is useful only for copy-style compacting.  A sample command that uses copy-style compacting is Load compact mail1.nsf -c -L.
