because i run some mh tools from cron, i am sometimes surprised when my real time human commands that might be "pick ... -seq xyz; scan xyz" end up having their folder changed out from under them. "-nochangecur" is not as good a solution for this as a high level locking tool would be. sometimes i want a script or a set of commands to have exclusive access even if none of them is accessing the underlying files and directories of mh directly. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
