Instead of using :0: for the first line, use something like this:

  :0 fw: my_shell_script.lock

This is similar to the SpamAssassin recipe that's in this section

He might not even need a lockfile at all, depending on whether
the script minds being accessed simulaneously.  Usually it
wouldn't be a problem.
