Thanks Joel. Forgive me, I'm just learning Ruby/scripting/programming. I 
believe I understand your example, but (as far as I can tell) it doesn't 
really accomplish my goal, and seems to have the same functionality of 
my first (longer) example.

Please let me know if I've missed something. :)

In any case, I think I found a (seemingly) obvious solution to my 
question:

@lockfile = some_other_lockfile

def self.unlock(lockfile)
  File.exist?(lockfile) ? File.delete(lockfile) : File.delete(@lockfile)
end


Thanks again!

-David
