Controlling Java and Lotusscript agents

Question

I created 2 agents, one made of Java and another made of Lotusscript. The java agent is scheduled to run every 5 minutes, while the lotusscript agent is scheduled to run every 15 minutes. Therefor there will come a time that they will simultaneously run. When that happens, the java agent must pause/wait until the lotusscript agent finished. I tried to simulate locking using Profile DOcuments and Environment Variables but to no avail. Is there a way that I can simulate locking between this two different agents? Please help. Thanks a lot!

Edit: I forgot to say that the 2 agents resides in TWO DIFFERENT databases, to complicate things more :(

Answer 1

Why not writing a third Agent (maybe in an extra Database), which runs periodically every five Minutes, which starts the other two Agents:

1. The Lotus Script Agent every time
2. The Java Agent every third run

... then you are also in control of the run order, without any complicated lock mechanisms.
