Hi all,
Needed to know if there was any possiblity of locking a particular file in the
client so that the
user can have a previlage of exclusive checkout. This should not allow other
users to edit the
file. Is there any particular way by which this can be acheived ?
One way of thinking was writing a shell script which tracks the command for
locking from a user,
and registers his name in a lock-file in the same directory. When the user
unlocks the file , this
lock-is deleted. When others try to access this during locked period, it should
give an error.
Whether this would work out or not and if this method has any problems --
please let me know.
Thanx
Sandhya.
