I'm slightly confused. :)
Don't worry, you get used to it....
Does your app just let you know when a change is made so you know you've
got new e-mail? Or does it tell you what changes occurred?
Basically it does 'tail -1f /path/to/file' and hides when no new input it
received in X seconds
If it just tells you new mail came in, run a secondary and continues log,
that just records something like "New mail arrived $date".
It tells me everything that hits the log, including what matched, etc.
TjL, quite happy with a global lockfile anyway.
