An executor or administrator who fails to file an account, as required in section 561 of this title, may be required by a citation, or ordered by the court to appear and do so, either upon the application of an heir or creditor, or other person interested in the estate, or without it. If the executor or administrator refuses or neglects to appear when cited, or to file the account as required, he may be punished as for a contempt, or by warrant of the court be committed to jail until he consents to do so.
