Subject: server: Bind port before messing with log files as a lock
X-Git-Tag: v0.1.0~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.scottworley.com/tattlekey/commitdiff_plain/5f5768318f897a20464ca177b5de64157afe0938?ds=sidebyside;hp=0d4f2aa67ed92add9c371a49cc45daad8e529301

server: Bind port before messing with log files as a lock

Rather than messing with flock, fnctl-F_SETLK, etc., just bind the port
before touching the log file & let the failure to bind the port keep
two instances of the server from stepping on each others' log i/o.
