Re: [arch-dev-public] [PATCH 4/4] ftpdir-cleanup: lock repo before doing the cleanup

Yeah, I'll look into using flock in our repo_lock function instead of doing this while loop. BTW, should the timeout time be an argument of repo_lock, i.e. each script could set its own value ? Or should we use a common value (60 seconds ?) defined in config?

I like the option. The scripts we call manually could have an infinite timeout (we can abort them manually), while the cronjobs could use very long (5 minutes) static timeouts.
