Normally your create a file and then remove it whilst keeping the file handle; that allows your program to write to it whilst guaranteeing that it will vanish when you die, but this has to be a named file so that the second instance can check for it. Doesn't that prevent it from being already removed? My unix experience is long, but fairly primitive. -- Robin Becker
