This package contains the lockfile(1) program, originally distributed
|
||
|
|
as part of procmail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lockfile can be used to create one or more semaphore files. If lockfile
|
||
|
|
can't create all the specified files (in the specified order), it waits
|
||
|
|
sleeptime (defaults to 8) seconds and retries the last file that didn't
|
||
|
|
succeed. You can specify the number of retries to do until failure is
|
||
|
|
returned. If the number of retries is -1 (default, i.e., -r-1) lockfile
|
||
|
|
will retry forever.
