Put the cron stuff in a file, then: 2 4 * * * mhlock /usr/local/libexec/cronmhstuff mhlock grabs the lock, runs whatever command was fed it, then releases the lock. It would be the MH equivalent of FreeBSD's lockf(1). As long as the mhlocked cron job is running, interactive commands would block waiting to acquire the lock. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
