At the following URL
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....read/thread/db...

There is the following code

#!/usr/local/ruby-1.8.0/bin/ruby
require 'ftools'
require 'tempfile'

def compete who, f
5.times do |i|
f.flock File::LOCK_EX
f.puts format("%s:%d @ %f\n",who, i, Time.now.to_f)
f.flock File::LOCK_UN
end
end

path = format(__FILE__ + '.out')
fd = open(path, File::WRONLY | File::TRUNC | File::CREAT)

if fork
compete 'PARENT', fd

Process.wait rescue nil
open(path){|f| puts f.read}
fd.close
File.rm_f path if File.exist? path

else
compete 'CHILD', fd
end

The code runs on my system. But, I don't see any call to Tempfile.new.
I'm assuming it's implied? If it is being implied, where is it being
implied at in the code?

tempfile isnt used as far as my knowledge goes...to test my theory?
delete require 'tempfile' ... if the program still runs fine then ur
gold.
