Please I need to create a text file in VI on a solaris platform, but I want ensure that the file is locked (when I open it) so that another process can not access it. How can I do this.

Many thanks in Advance.

Hi Milton,

one simple way is to create the file maybe with touch and set the permissions 700 for it. So only the user can handle it. Than you could work on vi with that file
