in reply to (OT) Question on flock

As the documentation says, flocks are merely advisory, meaning they only work when all programs that access the file cooperate and use the same locking mechanism. Also, as Corion already noted, a lot of file locking mechanisms don't work properly over a lot of different network file systems.

Why do you want to lock the files - are you trying to coordinate different processes of yours, or are you actually trying to prevent others from accessing the files?
