Hi,

I'm writing a program under FreeBSD 3.X that has been forced into having to
make a number of rename() calls that must be completed atomically (i.e. all
together) without the process being interrupted, or any other process being
allowed to run...

The software is running as user 'root' - does anyone have any pointers on how
I can do this? (or how close I'll be able to get to doing this) - Theres only
going to be around 6 or 7 calls to rename() but I must ensure they _all_
happen before any other process is allowed to run again...

I realise that this doesn't exactly sound like good software engineering, but
it's the only way I can solve a problem I'm having with Sendmail... :(

Thanks for any info...

Regards,

Karl Pielorz
