lockfile option to suppress "giving up on" message1997-05-22 10:08:00Stephen, would you consider adding an option to lockfile to tell it not to generate the standard lock-exists failure message? Perhaps -q. When I use lockfile in a script I check the error code and act appropriately, so I don't want lockfile: Sorry, giving up on "foo.lock" displayed, but I'd prefer not to discard stderr entirely so I can get the error messages which indicate something unusual went wrong (out of memory or whatever). -- Roderick Schertler roderick(_at_)argon(_dot_)org
