Hi,
On our 4.0F system, an executable called exclOpen (in /usr/sbin) is used in
the rcmgr script to implement a locking mechanism. I can't find a man page
on exclOpen, and it is not on our 4.0D system. Since it's also not on a
Solaris system that I have access to, I assume that it is a fairly recent
Compaq-specific utility. It's pretty easy to figure-out how it works, but
I was curious for more info as it may be a useful utility. (By the way,
the man page for open(2)/creat(2) mentions an O_EXCL switch, so I guess
that's a key part of exclOpen.) Any comments?
Thanks -- I hope this isn't a waste of the group's time! I will summarize.
