Re: help needed!

This is fine work! I fiddled with the Help screen to make it a bit more readable.

Having received the approbation of my peers, I went mad with power and extended the locking script.

New features:

• When locking the page it writes your username into index.lock so it can tell people who currently holds the lock.
• There is a new option "-s" which will print the status of the lock and exit
• When releasing the lock, the script checks if you are the current lock holder if not it declines to release the lock
• Lock expiration is now respected. Releasing or acquiring the lock will succeed if the lock has expired.
• There is a second new option "-h" which will print out the supported options and what they do.

Now we need a lock file for the lock script!

Hey ~mpnordland,

This is awesome, I was secretly hoping someone would step up and handle the lock strategy better ;). I copied your lock script over to the thepage directory and also made it world writeable so you or anyone else can improve upon it.
