I am capturing text based reports with a specific program, which works no problem. However, since I send report warehouse output as they are migrated from the database software, on occasion when two capture process' initiate simultaneously, the capture file locks up. Is there a way to setup (in the shell I guess) the file to run multi-threaded? Or am I looking at a limitation of the capture file itself? I am running korne shell under Solaris v8. Thanks in advance for any response.

maybe you just add that when file is locked, use different file to store info until file unlocks(like 30sec checks),then append info from that created different file to main file.
Sry i'm too lame but maybe this post helps you.
