ProcessLock

Provides a process level synchronization context, allowing only a single process to execute a section of code any given time.

Windows is currently not supported.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ProcessLock'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ProcessLock

Usage

Wrap any code you want to run in a synchronized context with

ProcessLock.ensure_only_process do
  # Your code here
end

Process lock will automatically infer a key based on the current file and method which is running. Optionally you can specify a your self ensure_only_process(:your_key_here)
