I'm curious.. What's the point of setting the umask before echoing
something? The way I see it the $lockfile is created by the "parent"
(i.e. not by the subshell)?

And if the umask 222 would work, would the file ever have more than 0
octets in it? As I see it, the file would be created so the shell can't
write to it.
