 # Example of flock use with rsync where local files are pushed to a remote server using a ssh and a key.
 # Using flock is useful when file copying is slow and the transfer duration may overlap with a newly scheduled run.
 # For example, if a large number of files are uploaded in one day in an office, whose backup is scheduled every day, and the transfer may take more than 24 hours.

 # Flock use a lock file: if it already exist it does not execute the command (-n option)
