How can a file be locked for a certain time?

I want to be able to lock a file for 60 minutes so that an automated monitoring program will not execute the script more that once an hour. I have never used a lock file but have heard that is what I need to use. Does anyone have any examples of how I would use this?

lock 60 filename.ksh ---?

Thanks,
