HA-Tools provide some programs to improve shell scripting in a High Availability environment.

The halockrun program provides a simple and reliable way to implement a locking in shell scripts. A typical usage for halockrun is to prevent cronjobs to run simultanously. halockrun uses a lock on a file via fcntl(2) which ensures the release of the lock even if the process gets killed via SIGKILL.

The hatimerun program provides a time-out mechanism which can be used from shell scripts.

What's New in This Release:
An error that prevented successful compilation on Solaris has been fixed.
