Two requests:
- please use "reply to all" in order to include everyone in this thread,
  specifically the list itself
- cut quotes you do not comment on in your reply (helps to grab quickly
  what you are referring to - and what not)

Your problem is actually independent of Xenomai. I think you should
first read some basics on interprocess communication. Quick hint
regarding your scenario:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_%28programming%29

You will find related services in Xenomai as well. Also browsing through
the Xenomai doc what's available and then reading up what it is good for
can help to broaden the understanding, and this is essential for writing
real-time software.
