NAME

       borg-with-lock - run a user specified command with the repository lock held

SYNOPSIS

       borg [common options] with-lock [options] REPOSITORY COMMAND [ARGS...]

DESCRIPTION

       This command runs a user-specified command while the repository lock is held.

       It  will  first  try to acquire the lock (make sure that no other operation is running in the repo), then
       execute the given command as a subprocess and wait for its termination, release the lock and  return  the
       user command's return code as borg's return code.

       NOTE:
          If  you copy a repository with the lock held, the lock will be present in the copy. Thus, before using
          borg on the copy from a different host, you need to use "borg break-lock" on  the  copied  repository,
          because Borg is cautious and does not automatically remove stale locks made by a different host.
