I've used a lighter approach: create a "lock file" somewhere (ie, in tmp),
then test for the existance of the file in the prepend.php3 script.

The shell code for creating it is quite easy:

--- cut here ---
#!/bin/sh
set -e
DBLOCK=/tmp/lockthesite
trap "rm -f $DBLOCK; rm -rf "$TMP" > /dev/null 2>&1" exit

if lockfile -! -r 5 "$DBLOCK"; then
  echo "Unable to get lock"
  exit 1
fi
# Do something useful here!
--- cut here ---

Just my 0.02EUR.
