Greetings, All!
The script (let's call it test.sh):
#!/bin/dash -x
_lock="./console-session.lock"
{
flock -n 9 || {
echo "The $(cat "$_lock") command is running already."
exit 3
} >&2
printf "$1" >&9
trap 'rm "$_lock";' EXIT HUP INT ABRT TERM
sleep 20
} 9>> "$_lock"
Very simple in essence.
The one-liner:
{ flock -n 9 && sleep 10 || echo Fail;} 9>> ./console-session.lock
Also extremely simple.
Open two terminals. mintty or native, bash or dash, doesn't matter.
chdir to the directory with the script.
Start script in one terminal. ./test.sh
Start oneliner in another terminal. Fail. How predictable!
Wait till both expire.
Now start oneliner first.
Then script.
Both succeed. Not 100% but highly, highly probable. Sometimes it even work
both ways.
At the same time, I can't reproduce it on Linux at all.
But I do can reproduce it on Cygwin. Both 32 and 64 bit. With both dash and
bash. With both local and remote FS.
