Thanks for this; it solves my problem >between< processes. But it does not work >within< a process; it is possible to take the same lock twice in the same process. However, as previously mentioned, I can deal with that by accessing the file via a singleton. Now I have noticed that closing the file releases the lock, so I wonder if use of F_ULOCK is really necessary. I am calling it in case it releases resources that the close() might miss.
