Hello! What will happen when a script crashes immediately after locking a file (exclusively) with Perl's flock() function?
I understand that this will leave the file locked until the owner (or root) will unlock it manually. Does anybody have any experiences and/or recommendations or do scripts simply never crash this way?;=) According to the documentation flock() works platform specific. So this is my environment: SuSe Linux 7.1 (Kernel 2.4.7), Apache 1.3.19. Perl 5.6. Experiences with other platforms, however, may also be useful. TIA Stephan -- Dipl.-Chem.
