in thread File locking; downgrade an exclusive to a shared lock

I'd prefer not to create another file if it can be helped...

I've seen it done where you lock DATA, but that prevents the next instance from running, so it can't log "Run skipped", which is pretty much mandatory for me.

Any other Ideas?
