Hi, I searched the archives but could not find any related issue. My problem is this: I use flock with a timeout but apparently the timeout does not work, i.e. flock waits longer than specified. Script is attached. Output is here:
This is ok, timeout is longer than needed: 15:34:27 tmp$ ./fl-test-2.sh CYGWIN_NT-5.1 padrklemme1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin -rw-r--r-- 1 RKlemme Domain Users 0 Mar 12 15:34 lock timeout 10 started 1 3672 Thu Mar 12 15:34:32 WEST 2009 started 2 3672 Thu Mar 12 15:34:33 WEST 2009 waiting... 3672 Thu Mar 12 15:34:34 WEST 2009 3672 Thu Mar 12 15:34:35 WEST 2009 3672 Thu Mar 12 15:34:36 WEST 2009 2884 Thu Mar 12 15:34:37 WEST 2009 2884 Thu Mar 12 15:34:39 WEST 2009 2884 Thu Mar 12 15:34:40 WEST 2009 2884 Thu Mar 12 15:34:41 WEST 2009 2884 Thu Mar 12 15:34:42 WEST 2009 done This looks wrong, timeout is much shorter than what the process takes and should abort: 15:34:43 tmp$ ./fl-test-2.sh 2 CYGWIN_NT-5.1 padrklemme1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin -rw-r--r-- 1 RKlemme Domain Users 0 Mar 12 15:34 lock timeout 2 started 1 2444 Thu Mar 12 15:34:45 WEST 2009 started 2 2444 Thu Mar 12 15:34:47 WEST 2009 waiting... 2444 Thu Mar 12 15:34:48 WEST 2009 2444 Thu Mar 12 15:34:49 WEST 2009 2444 Thu Mar 12 15:34:50 WEST 2009 4064 Thu Mar 12 15:34:51 WEST 2009 4064 Thu Mar 12 15:34:52 WEST 2009 4064 Thu Mar 12 15:34:53 WEST 2009 4064 Thu Mar 12 15:34:55 WEST 2009 4064 Thu Mar 12 15:34:56 WEST 2009 done 15:34:57 tmp$ Any ideas?
