[Solved] Capture network disconnect or hung case

Hello folks,

Have a process which needs to lock files to prevent simultaneous access.
I could catch Ctrl + C, etc signals via the trap command.

Often sessions get hung due to network disconnect leaving the lock file in place.
Is there a way to catch network disconnects, etc.

Thanks in advance

lckpwdf(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					       lckpwdf(3C)

NAME
lckpwdf, ulckpwdf - manipulate shadow password database lock file SYNOPSIS
#include <shadow.h> int lckpwdf(void); int ulckpwdf(void); DESCRIPTION
The lckpwdf() and ulckpwdf() functions enable modification access to the password databases through the lock file. A process first uses lckpwdf() to lock the lock file, thereby gaining exclusive rights to modify the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow password database. See passwd(4) and shadow(4). Upon completing modifications, a process should release the lock on the lock file using ulckpwdf(). This mechanism prevents simultaneous modification of the password databases. The lock file, /etc/.pwd.lock, is used to coordinate modification access to the password databases /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. RETURN VALUES
If lckpwdf() is successful in locking the file within 15 seconds, it returns 0. If unsuccessful (for example, /etc/.pwd.lock is already locked), it returns -1. If ulckpwdf() is successful in unlocking the file /etc/.pwd.lock, it returns 0. If unsuccessful (for example, /etc/.pwd.lock is already unlocked), it returns -1. USAGE
These routines are for internal use only; compatibility is not guaranteed. FILES
/etc/passwd password database /etc/shadow shadow password database /etc/.pwd.lock lock file ATTRIBUTES
