If you are using a database, it may provide generic locking that you can 
[ab]use.

For example, MySQL provides "get_lock()" which could be used like:

 	select get_lock('find-usernum', 20);

This would block another process from executing until:

1) 20 seconds is up.

2) the locking process exits.

3) you explicitly release the lock by executing "release_lock()."
