LOCKING WITH FCNTL

2003-06-13 11:38:00

   Would some kind genius please quickly show me how to lock
a mailbox with FCNTL so that neither procmail nor qpopper4.0x
will touch it until the lock is gone.

   Using FLOCK I would do something like,

$FILE = "/var/spool/mail/username":
open (MAIL,">$FILE"); flock($FILE,2);

    Thanks Homer
