No, it won't. It will only tell you if a specific file is locked. And only if you have permission to open said file.	[reply]

Thanks Ken, but here I forgot to mention another issue. If i apply "flock" I need to apply a shared lock in "script1.pl" and in my case its unfavourable to make any changes in that script. I can change only "script2.pl" Thanks AvantA	[reply]
