| procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored
|
| message in my log file. For top-level recipes do local lock files
| have to be unique?
No.
| For nested recipes should local lock files be
| placed 1) only at the top-level, 2) only in the nested recipes, or 3)
| both? I would think (2) since, in this case, no files are associated
| with the top-level recipe.
Are you haveing the syndrome that Philip G. describes in
pm-tips.txt? (See X-info). Jari.
6.10 Local lockfile usage
Lockfiles are only needed when procmail is doing something that
should be serialized, i.e., when only one process at a time should
be doing it
[phil] Watch this too. A nesting block that does not launch
a clone cannot take a local lockfile on the recipe that starts the
braces. A nesting block that does launch a clone can. (see
the error)
:0: file.lock
{
# error: "procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored"
# - This lock file will be ignored
# - If the recipes inside the braces try to use file.lck
# as a lockfile, then you'll have a deadlock situation.
