Hi,
New member ... so Hi everybody! Is is possible to protect files that are being copied into a directory from being moved/deleted/read etc while the copy command is being executed. Thus if files are being moved from Directory A to Directory B, I would like to ensure that no file is copied from B until the copy from A is complete. I don't think you get this security for free in UNIX but I am not sure! thanks, Kevin |

Won't fuser help in this case.
You can write a simple script in which you regularly check the return value of fuser before copying. |
