One last comment: remember that for things that interlock a lot, you
could use a regional lockfile with the LOCKFILE= directive. Just
remember to unset LOCKFILE to remove the lock when you're done with
the critical section.

I need to set a lock file for a group of recipes.

Is there any difference if I use LOCKFILE verses using something like


   :0:local.lock
   {
   ...
   }

and placing recipes inside the braces?

Thanks,
