Description:
This makes remstats generic make_lockfile
function available to shell
scripts so that external things (like backups) can lock the same way
remstats does internally, for the few things which need locking.
If the specified lockfile has no '/' in it, then it will be augmented to
<tempdir>/LOCK-<whatever>
where <tempdir> is the remstats configuration-supplied tempdir and <whatever>
is what you specified as a lock-file. The remstats programs which use
the make_lockfile
routine, which is the heart of lockfile
, all use
their name as the lock-file.
