Subject: [EXIM] off topic - NFS locking help required :)
I could not think of a better bunch to ask (based on the mailing
lists I am on), so my apologies if this is too off-topic - just
delete.

I have a need to lock a file and/or a whole directory on a shared
NFS file system from a perl script. Can anyone refer me to a good,
generic method that is reliable enough ? Speed is not of any real
need, but consistency is. My guess is that exim-folks are likely
to have "been there, done that" already - so I would appreciate
pointers.

Please don't say rpc.lockd :-)

Regards,
