Hey!
I have a multiple process ruby application and i want to do process
flagging over the filesystem (similar to apaches alive flag).
I have a process that runs a loop creates a file and sleeps a while:
loop do
f1 = File.new(Dir.getwd+"/process1",“w”).flock(File::LOCK_UN) do |f|
f.puts “process1”
end
sleep 60
end
In my root process i want to be able to delete this file, even when the
other process is running:
require ‘win32/process’
puts “Starting Process 1”
process1 = Process.create(:app_name => “ruby process1.rb”)
#puts “Starting Process 2”
#process2 = Process.create(:app_name => “ruby process2.rb”)
puts “started”
loop do
File.delete(Dir.getwd+"/process1")
sleep 10
end
I get a “Permission denied” error, even if i set the option
flock(File::LOCK_UN) how can i remove the file lock?
