RE: Ensure only one instance of a script is running

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[snip]
I have a script that inserts data from files uploaded to our server. I
need 
to make sure that only one instance of this script runs at anyone time,
can 
anyone tell me how I can do this?
[/snip]

Don't run another instance. ba-dump ching!

Ok, here is a quick and dirty way to do it, have the script check for
the existence of a file containing a date and timestamp, if one does not
exist the script creates one. If it does exist, the script exits. Once
the script is nearing completion have it destroy the file (unlink).
