Hi,
I'm writing a (very simple) script to avoid concurrent processes to do
the same task.
Background:
After a task is done by a service, it synchronizes it with other(s)
server(s).
I wish that if a synchronization is not done during one or more tasks
are completed, not concurrent

If I set -t 1, lockf is quite what I'm waiting for. But I like to do
this in a clear way : if it can't acquire the lock it exits, no timeout
wait.

Hi Nikos,
I was stupid not to think about this...
And it is a nice tip to use a new shell as a running process.
However, I re-read the lockf man and saw : By default, lockf waits
indefinitely to acquire the lock.
Everything is clear now.
Thanks !
