Linux – Executing multiple commands with setlock

bashlinuxlocking

In a bash script I would like to execute multiple commands while keeping a file locked with setlock. Setlock however only supports the following usage:

setlock [-NnXx] [lock file] [command]

Is there a way to wrap multiple commands together besides using a separated script?

You can use sh as a command, enabling you to use &&, ; or || as usual to chain multiple commands as desired inside single quotes.

For example to run command1 followed by command2 (if the first exits without errors):

setlock lockfile sh -c 'command1 && command2'

You may want to look at the open_basedir config parameter. Not really an answer to your question, but it is related. It's a good idea to set a basedir per site like "/var/www/site:/usr/share/php:/tmp". (The /usr/share/php can be different on each machine).

To really answer your question: you can also put this in a .htaccess:

<Files *.sh>
  ForceType 'text/plain; charset=UTF-8'
</Files>
