As another possible solution, like firefox once did - when I last used it at 
least -, is to create a
lockfile and check for that. If you are running, the lockfile exists, when 
program terminates, it
removes the file. I suggest to deliver a script to remove that lockfile in case 
of application crash
(I wrote such a thing for the firefox at our school because students seem to 
either manage to crash
firefox very often or login as the same users all the time).
You can create that file on whatever scope you want it to act in, like per 
user, e.g. in their home
directories, or system-wide, e.g. in /tmp.

Regards,
Tobi
