===== #! /bin/bash LOCK=$HOME/.tin.lock lockfile $LOCK tin rm -f $LOCK ===== "lockfile" is part of the procmail package. if you ^C the script, you will have to clean up and delete the lockfile on your own. there are a few ways for the script to automatically detect tin was killed, but you didn't ask for that. ;) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
