Hi all,
What is the fastest way to check the lock status of a file?
I used records in a certain table to check who's using the application. Now I use dummy files for that purpose. When checking I first TRY to DELETE the lockfile. If the file still exists afterwards, then the user is still using the application. DELETE is quite fast, but I'm wondering whether there's another even faster way to check it.
Groet,

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
