Personally, I'd favor a warning:
"Rivendell is already running.
Force another instance ?
(be sure you know what you're doing)"
Second that.

Because that's intended for use by system daemons, and hence requires root
permissions.
In hindsight, '/var/lock'

Perhaps. I'm actually seriously considering removing the 'single instance
only' requirement altogether. That's essentially a

Recommend adding an /etc/init.d/boot.rivendell file which cleans up this

In days of old, about four years ago or so, before the days
of kernel locking, standard practice for those things that needed
one and only one process to access them at a time, such as

Two instances of RDAirPlay, yes. Most Rivendell modules support multiple
instances without difficulty.

Have you checked for stale lock files ?

I have done that... it works now. Thanks!
I had no idea rdairplay created a lock file. I always thought it created a
process file in /var/run/rivendell which locked it up... and so I had tried
in the past to empty that directory.
But thanks!

Hello,
There is a hidden file called .rdairplaylock (located in the home
directory of the user rivendell runs as) that you have to delete in
order to make it work. I believe RDAirplay, or your machine did not shut
down properly.
Hoggins!

I have been trying to get Rivendell working again. Starting about 2-3 days
ago, everything EXCEPT rdairplay worked fine. Rdairplay keeps giving me an
error saying "multiple instances not allowed!" But I checked a couple
