Would the bug reporter and commenters be satisfied if we simply
replaced the backupninja call in /etc/cron.d/backupninja with
lckdo /usr/sbin/backupninja
?
... using lckdo ("run a program with a lock held") from the
moreutils package.
It would hold a lock on the entire backupninja process, instead of
a single action. On the other hand, it would be implemented as
a simple one-liner unobstrusive patch that I volunteer to write and
commit upstream, rather than a brand new wheel^Wlock implementation
that still needs polishing and testing.
Bye,
