LOCKFILE(1)

NAME
lockfile - conditional semaphore-file creator

SYNOPSIS
lockfile -sleeptime | -r retries | -l locktimeout | -s suspend | -! | -ml | -mu | file-name ...

DESCRIPTION
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.

If the number of retries expires before all files have been created, lockfile returns failure and removes all the files it created up till that point.

The return value of lockfile can be easily inverted by specifying -! as an argument (comes in handy in shell scripts).

All flags can be specified anywhere on the command line, they will be processed when encountered. The command line is simply parsed from left to right.

All files created by lockfile will be read-only, and therefore will have to be removed with rm -f.

If you specify a locktimeout then a lockfile will be removed by force after locktimeout seconds have passed since the lockfile was last modified/created (most likely by some other program that unexpectedly died a long time ago, and hence could not clean up any leftover lockfiles). Lockfile is clock skew immune. After a lockfile has been removed by force, a suspension of suspend seconds (defaults to 16) is taken into account, in order to prevent the inadvertent immediate removal of any newly created lockfile by another program (compare SUSPEND in procmail(1)).

Mailbox locks
If the permissions on the system mail spool directory allow it, or if lockfile is suitably setgid, it will be able to lock and unlock your system mailbox by using the options -ml and -mu respectively.

EXAMPLES
Suppose you want to make sure that access to the file "important" is serialised, i.e. no more than one program or shell script should be allowed to access it. For simplicity's sake, let's suppose that it is a shell script. In this case you could solve it like this:
    ...
    lockfile important.lock
    ...
    access_"important"_to_your_hearts_content
    ...
    rm -f important.lock
    ...
Now if all the scripts that access "important" follow this guideline, you will be assured that at most one script will be executing between the `lockfile' and the `rm' commands.

ENVIRONMENT
LOGNAME used as a hint to determine the invoker's loginname

FILES
/etc/passwd to verify and/or correct the invoker's loginname (and to find out his HOME directory, if needed)
/var/mail/$LOGNAME.lock lockfile for the system mailbox, the environment variables present in here will not be taken from the environment, but will be determined by looking in /etc/passwd

SEE ALSO
rm(1), mail(1), binmail(1), sendmail(8), procmail(1)

DIAGNOSTICS
Filename too long, ... Use shorter filenames.

Forced unlock denied on "x" No write permission in the directory where lockfile "x" resides, or more than one lockfile trying to force a lock at exactly the same time.
Forcing lock on "x" Lockfile "x" is going to be removed by force because of a timeout (compare LOCKTIMEOUT in procmail(1)).
Out of memory, ... The system is out of swap space.
Signal received, ... Lockfile will remove anything it created till now and terminate.
Sorry, ... The retries limit has been reached.
Truncating "x" and retrying lock "x" does not seem to be a valid filename.
Try praying, ... Missing subdirectories or insufficient privileges.

BUGS
Definitely less than one.

MISCELLANEOUS
Lockfile is NFS-resistant and eight-bit clean.

NOTES
Calling up lockfile with the -h or -? options will cause it to display a command-line help page.

Multiple -! flags will toggle the return status.

Since flags can occur anywhere on the command line, any filename starting with a '-' has to be preceded by './'.

The number of retries will not be reset when any following file is being created (i.e. they are simply used up). It can, however, be reset by specifying -rnewretries after every file on the command line.

Although files with any name can be used as lockfiles, it is common practice to use the extension `.lock' to lock mailfolders (it is appended to the mailfolder name). In case one does not want to have to worry about too long filenames and does not have to conform to any other lockfilename convention, then an excellent way to generate a lockfilename corresponding to some already existing file is by taking the prefix `lock.' and appending the i-node number of the file which is to be locked.
