Hi all,

Needed to know if there was any possiblity of locking a particular file in the client 
so that the 
user can have a previlage of exclusive checkout. This should not allow other users to 
edit the 
file. Is there any particular way by which this can be acheived ? 
One way of thinking was writing a shell script which tracks the command for locking 
from a user, 
and registers his name in a lock-file in the same directory. When the user unlocks the 
file , this 
lock-is deleted. When others try to access this during locked period, it should give 
an error.

Whether this would work out or not and if this method has any problems -- please let 
me know.


Thanx
Sandhya.
