The second : instructs Procmail to try to use a local lock file, but the heuristics for finding a lock file don't usually work all that well for complex pieces of shell script -- I expect you will have been seeing "Couldn't determine implicit lockfile" errors in your Procmail logs. If indeed you need Procmail to take care of the locking for you -- doesn't Darcs do that rather well on its own? -- then you will probably need to use a named lockfile (:0:darcs.lock maybe, where "darcs.lock" is the name of the file -- just make sure you use the same lockfile everywhere) instead of Procmail's heuristics. Citing myself is not good form, but I still humbly offer you <http://www.iki.fi/era/procmail/mini-faq.html#locking> as a reference on this issue. Thanks again for your quick turnaround. /* era */ -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not. _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
