Thanks for explanation, Kai .... > So semaphores are the better way... > Are you talking about semaphores as some kind of os functionality? Because, hand made semaphores was what I was talking about .... But how to make sure process does not crash and you don't end-up with dead-lock sitting on your hd? So if we can't depend upon file-locking when opened under Unix (which does seem just plain crazy and wrong to me, because if I have a lock, how is that other process can delete what I requested to have locked?!), the only technique I can come up with right now is to use some kind of time-stamp and regard .lock file being dead if the app does not renew it in certain time period. But not sure it is a good method, because you would make your app dependant upon timers ....
