3. Information about the withlock package on openSUSE Leap

Information for package withlock:
---------------------------------
Repository : Main Repository
Name : withlock
Version : 0.5-bp155.1.6
Arch : noarch
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 34.3 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : withlock-0.5-bp155.1.6.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/poeml/withlock
Summary : A locking wrapper script
Description :
withlock is a locking wrapper script to make sure that some program isn't run
more than once. It is ideal to prevent periodic jobs spawned by cron from
stacking up.
The locks created are valid only while the wrapper is running, and thus will
never require a cleanup, as after a reboot. Thus, the wrapper is safe and easy
to use, and much better than implementing half-hearted locking within scripts.
