HI i have a newbie question about the file() function. I have 2 daemons running on my linux box.
1 will record the IDs to a file - logs.txt other 1 will open this file, read the IDs, and then "Clean up the file" -logs.txt Since these 2 daemons will run every 2-5mins, I think this will crash, isn't it? When both daemons try to write to the file at the same time. I am wondering if this won't crash, OR if there is some simple high-level functions can lock the file while writing... I also wonder if one side locked the file, what happens if the other side try to open this locked file? raise error? so i also need to write a loop to wait for the file to release locking? seems a basic easy thing but i just cannot find an simple answer. I always advoid this issue by putting them in mysql (well, fast and hassle free for locking) Thanks Jay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
