You can do this by storing the mutex in shared memory and accessing that 
shared memory from different programs.  You have to set the mutex as 
recursive and shared (using pthread_mutexattr_setpshared).  Look into 
the pthread man pages for info.  I believe there's an example somewhere 
in the glibc sources, too.
