I've got a script which writes my blog's RSS feed (rather than dynamically
generating it each time it is requested), and I'm not sure whether I should
lock the file while I'm writing it. Truth is, the only way this script
runs is through cron anyway, and I recently read that "Other processes can
modify or delete a PHP-locked file if permissions allow." which seems to be
a waste of time, anyway.

Can someone shed light on this?
Thanks
