Is there an os independent way to check if a python app is running?
Goal: I have a server program based on cherrypy that I only want to have
running once. If a system administrator accidentally attempts to run
this program more than once, I would like the 2nd instance of the
program to detect that its already running and exit.
You could use lockfile: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lockfile/0.7
If a certain file exists and is locked, then the app is already running.
