如果您不想或不能使用flock(例如，您没有使用共享文件系统)，请考虑使用外部服务，如lockable。

它暴露了咨询锁原语，就像flock一样。特别地，你可以通过以下方式获取锁:

https://lockable.dev/api/acquire/my-lock-name

然后通过

https://lockable.dev/api/release/my-lock-name

通过将脚本执行与锁获取和释放结合在一起，您可以确保在任何给定时间只有一个流程实例在运行。

下面是一种方法，它结合了原子目录锁定和通过PID检查过期锁，如果过期就重新启动。此外，这并不依赖于任何羞怯。

#!/bin/dash

SCRIPTNAME=$(basename $0)
LOCKDIR="/var/lock/${SCRIPTNAME}"
PIDFILE="${LOCKDIR}/pid"

if ! mkdir $LOCKDIR 2>/dev/null
then
    # lock failed, but check for stale one by checking if the PID is really existing
    PID=$(cat $PIDFILE)
    if ! kill -0 $PID 2>/dev/null
    then
       echo "Removing stale lock of nonexistent PID ${PID}" >&2
       rm -rf $LOCKDIR
       echo "Restarting myself (${SCRIPTNAME})" >&2
       exec "$0" "$@"
    fi
    echo "$SCRIPTNAME is already running, bailing out" >&2
    exit 1
else
    # lock successfully acquired, save PID
    echo $$ > $PIDFILE
fi

trap "rm -rf ${LOCKDIR}" QUIT INT TERM EXIT


echo hello

sleep 30s

echo bye

使用flock(1)在文件描述符上创建一个独占作用域锁。通过这种方式，您甚至可以同步脚本的不同部分。

#!/bin/bash

(
  # Wait for lock on /var/lock/.myscript.exclusivelock (fd 200) for 10 seconds
  flock -x -w 10 200 || exit 1

  # Do stuff

) 200>/var/lock/.myscript.exclusivelock

这确保(和)之间的代码一次只由一个进程运行，并且该进程不会为锁等待太长时间。

注意:这个特殊的命令是util-linux的一部分。如果您运行的是Linux以外的操作系统，那么它可能不可用，也可能不可用。

PID和锁文件绝对是最可靠的。当您尝试运行程序时，它可以检查锁文件，如果它存在，它可以使用ps查看进程是否仍在运行。如果不是，脚本可以启动，将锁文件中的PID更新为自己的PID。

这个例子是在man flock中解释的，但它需要一些改进，因为我们应该管理bug和退出代码:

   #!/bin/bash
   #set -e this is useful only for very stupid scripts because script fails when anything command exits with status more than 0 !! without possibility for capture exit codes. not all commands exits >0 are failed.

( #start subprocess
  # Wait for lock on /var/lock/.myscript.exclusivelock (fd 200) for 10 seconds
  flock -x -w 10 200
  if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then echo Cannot lock!; exit 1; fi
  echo $$>>/var/lock/.myscript.exclusivelock #for backward lockdir compatibility, notice this command is executed AFTER command bottom  ) 200>/var/lock/.myscript.exclusivelock.
  # Do stuff
  # you can properly manage exit codes with multiple command and process algorithm.
  # I suggest throw this all to external procedure than can properly handle exit X commands

) 200>/var/lock/.myscript.exclusivelock   #exit subprocess

FLOCKEXIT=$?  #save exitcode status
    #do some finish commands

exit $FLOCKEXIT   #return properly exitcode, may be usefull inside external scripts

你可以用另一种方法，列出我过去用过的过程。但这比上面的方法要复杂得多。你应该按ps列出进程，按其名称过滤，附加过滤器grep -v grep清除寄生虫，最后按grep -c计数。和数字比较。这是复杂而不确定的

我使用一种简单的方法来处理过期的锁文件。

注意，上面的一些解决方案存储pid，忽略了pid可以环绕的事实。因此，仅仅检查是否有一个有效的进程与存储的pid是不够的，特别是对于长时间运行的脚本。

我使用noclobber来确保一次只能打开一个脚本并写入锁文件。此外，我在锁文件中存储了足够的信息来惟一地标识一个进程。我定义了一组数据来唯一地标识一个进程为pid、ppid、lstart。

当一个新脚本启动时，如果它未能创建锁文件，那么它将验证创建锁文件的进程是否仍然存在。如果不是，我们假设原始进程不体面地死亡，并留下一个过时的锁文件。然后，新脚本获得锁文件的所有权，一切又恢复正常了。

应该与跨多个平台的多个shell一起工作。快速、便携、简单。
