Is there a way to keep the filecopy command or 24x7 in general from locking a source file while it copies it? I've got a process that copies a file every 5 minutes and we've noticed missing information or failed processes if they occur during the copy. We need a quick and easy way to make 24x7 allow writes on the files it's copying.

Make a program that can copy copy files in file shared mode. Then you can run this program from 24x7 and pass 2 parameters for the source and destination file names. Do not use the DOS "copy" command because it also locks the source file.
