As echoed elsewhere... this may OK on Linux but on BSD/Solaris it is not
reliable...

I think that whatever the "default" is it should be well documented and
set up so that if it is not set by a human then MS will not start...
maybe have it as a question in install.sh?

./install.sh

Are you using flock (yes/no)? 
 * if you don't know what this means then type "no".

Just another maybe, and the Solaris/BSD people will be less likely to
get caught out.
