Googling around I discovered some similar tools (alphabetical order):

• flock: ...
• getlock: Getlock is a simple command-line file locking program...
• halockrun: Run command while holding exclusive lock on file...
• lockrun: Run cron job with overrun protection...
• solo: is a very simple script (10 lines) that prevents a program from running more than one copy at a time...

Is FLoM really necessary? You'll decide!
