Mixing flock() and lockfiles

1996-07-02 23:41:51
I (mostly) check my mail via a POP server (which uses a lock file -- piece
of cake), but occasionally check my mail in unix via elm (which as near as
I can tell uses flock()).  Both read the system mailbox, and I have no way
of changing that.

Is there a way to get procmail to use both flock() and a named lockfile?

-or-

Am I being too paranoid about elm trying to write to the system mailbox at
the same time as procmail?
