Re: lockfile on >>!

2000-10-16 12:51:39
Dallman has a point: not everyone, despite strong advice, uses a non-csh
shell for procmailrc actions with shell metacharacters.  Maybe the implicit
local lockfile name code could deal with >>! by stripping the exclamation
point and adding $LOCKEXT.  Any chance that that would break existing recipes
that append to files whose names begin with exclamation points?  Would it be
necessary to check first whether $SHELL's antepenultimate character is `c'?
