Hi All,
Thank you for your inputs.
As suggested by porter, I think I'll have to settle with file locking mechanisms as I am using a simple file.
Let me explore other IPC facilities (yet to start studying :-) ) and will get back to you guys with more doubts...
regards

IPC(2) Linux Programmer's Manual IPC(2)
NAME
ipc - System V IPC system calls
SYNOPSIS
int ipc(unsigned int call, int first, int second, int third, void *ptr, long fifth);
DESCRIPTION
ipc() is a common kernel entry point for the System V IPC calls for messages, semaphores, and shared memory. call determines which IPC
function to invoke; the other arguments are passed through to the appropriate call.
User programs should call the appropriate functions by their usual names. Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers need to
know about ipc().
CONFORMING TO
ipc() is Linux specific, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.

msgctl(2), msgget(2), msgrcv(2), msgsnd(2), semctl(2), semget(2), semop(2), shmat(2), shmctl(2), shmdt(2), shmget(2)
