im on a BSD type nix (arch) and my amuled is through a 'rc.d' script i.e. (start, stop, restart)
i used to get the 'muleLock' when I shut-down amule too fast, soo in my script i left amule longer to shutdown connections before killing it.
TBH i would always manually run the 'stop' cmd on your amuled just to be sure it 'kills' correctly before you shutdown or reboot, and i would always manually 'start' amuled.
thus;
