procmailrc(5) advises us to use per-recipe local lock files instead of using the LOCKFILE environment variable to set up a global one. I use LOGFILE to log abstracts for deliveries though, and at busy moments, these abstracts are getting intermingled, making it impossible for scripts to process them accurately. Is there a better way to prevent this than using the evil global lock file? -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com There is more freedom in knowing how to handle pain than in knowing how to avoid it.
