| Summary: A locking wrapper script | |
withlock is a locking wrapper script to make sure that some program isn't run more than once. It is ideal to prevent periodic jobs spawned by cron from stacking up. The locks created are valid only while the wrapper is running, and thus will never require a cleanup, as after a reboot. Thus, the wrapper is safe and easy to use, and much better than implementing half-hearted locking within scripts.

- I wrote a patch got-lock.patch to fix the trouble with the got-lock variable.
I was testing the withlock and still had there the lock file after a
program already end with exit code 0. I have look on the code together
with our Python expert [email protected] and we found the got-lock variable
isn't marked ad global variable.I`ll send this to [email protected]
after we test it on our servers.

- update to 0.3
* At exit, unlink the lock file only if a lock was actually obtained.
When waiting for a lock (using -w option) and timing out, the file
was removed nevertheless. Thanks Bernhard Wiedemann for finding this
bug and providing such a good test case, so the fix was easy.
