Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-16
Severity: minor
The lockfile(1) manpage lists the following example:
...
lockfile important.lock
...
access_"important"_to_your_hearts_content
...
rm -f important.lock
...
In the context of a shell script. By default (that is, without set -e),
this is in adequate.
To emphasis the requirement to check the exit code, I suggest replacing
"""
lockfile important.lock
"""
by
"""
# Make sure to abort if the lockfile could not be created!
lockfile important.lock || exit 1
"""
