[NTLUG:Discuss] Flock file hanging around

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello All:

I wrote a shell script using flock:

#!/bin/bash
(
flock -x 200
# Perform tasks here...
sleep 5
) 200>/var/lock/mylock

After the script exits, the mylock file is still there.
I thought flock is supposed to remove it after the script finishes.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
  Neil
