I've had these two lines in my .procmailrc for a while and I
constantly monitor my log using `tail -f' and haven't noticed
any collisions of message logs so I don't think you need a global
LOCKFILE (but I'd like to know if you do!).
I've seen plenty of mixed log-sessions. Depends on
how much you log, and in how many steps. As has been
discussed here, you can pile up your log-texts in a
variable, and use TRAP (see man procmailrc) to echo
that.
The moment after I sent my message I saw a collision in my log
file! So now I want to update my Quick Start troubleshooting
section and tell people how to prevent that. It seems like using
a global LOCKFILE would be a pain on the system since messages
would then be processed in series rather than in parallel
(right?). What is the best way to do this (i.e., the least
resource intensive)?
Thanks,
Nancy
