The reason i mentioned darwin, was because shlock is included in OS X. I don't think it is included in any macport.

OK, I updated the description again. Sorry for the misunderstanding. DP is something we don't like to mention!

So, on my Debian system, the flock command is provided by the util-linux package, version "2.20.1-5.3".
On MacPorts, we have a util-linux version "2.22.2_0" (more recent), but it doesn't have the command. Would this just be a matter of tweaking the util-linux package's options to include the binary?

I'd like to use flock also for easier shell scripting. Currently, the only option is to use a scripting language with an interface to the flock C function (perl, python, php, etc) or make a call from bash into one of those languages just for the use of flock.
Fixed Description: the project is called "Macports" now. The former name is now a scam.
