# This script ensures there is only one instance of a particular command
# running at a time. It may be useful, for example, for potentially
# lengthy cron tasks, to ensure that a new task is not started if the
# previous one has not finished yet.
#
# Invoke this script from the command line as follows:
#
# OneAtATime [opts] cmd
#
# where cmd is the Shell command line to execute. Valid options are:
#
# --id=s
# use the string s as the unique identifier for this command
# (should not contain "/" or nul characters). Any other execution
# of OneAtATime specifying the same id will not proceed as long
as
# this instance is still executing.
# If omitted, the id is computed as a hash on the cmd string.
#
# --timeout=n
# If an existing instance has been executing for at least n
# seconds, assume it's taking too long and try to kill it
# before proceeding. If omitted, the timeout is infinity.
#
# --verbose
# increases the verbosity level by 1 each time it is specified.
# The initial default verbosity level is 0.
#
# --wait
# If specified, then this invocation should sleep until any
# previous instance is finished (or until the timeout elapses,
# if specified). If not specified, then this invocation will
# simply exit if an existing instance is already running.
# Note that, if more than one invocation is waiting on a
# previous instance to complete, there is no guarantee in
# what order they'll execute.

# First working version 2006 March 24.
# Fix hang if previous process dies without freeing instance lock and
# --timeout was not specified 2006 March 24.
# Ensure lock-breaking recovery is still invoked even without --wait,
# include effective user ID in instance lock name for uniqueness
