Advanced bash/shell scripting question - I cannot seem to do the correct incantation with /usr/bin/flock to make it work in a bash block. Can any Master of the Bash give me a hint?
In other words, I am trying to put into to use the example in man flock, where it says:'second form is convenient inside shell scripts'. # this does what I expect, and if I attempt # to obtain a second lock it fails $ flock -n /tmp/lockmyprecious sleep 60 # this does not seem to work $ (flock -n 200; echo gotlock; sleep 60)200>/tmp/lockmyprecious There is a bash script where I want to wrap a lock around a large-ish code block that I don't want to split off to a separate script. hints? m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
