sundialsvc4,
Maybe I can do what another way? As I indicated in my original post, I am writing a general purpose library for interacting with the process table. Perhaps you assumed I am trying to make sure there is only one instance of a process running? Even if that is what I was attempting to do (it isn't), using locks on a file have their own limitations. For instance, on most *nix platforms the lock is advisory and not enforced by the kernel. Additionally, you can delete a locked file. Again, I need to be able to answer the questions:
Cheers - L~R
