If multiple, related, programs running on unix (Linux, Solaris etc.)

any recommended "good practice" to ensure that they don't try to update

In the case that I'm thinking of, I don't anticipate e.g. multiple
logins trying to write setup information at the same time. The more
risky case is if there are e.g. multiple daemons or apps trying to save
state when a UPS signals imminent shutdown.
This might be for Windows, but I think this applies here as well:
