I was asking how I make/control a lock file when the rpm provides a binary run module and the man page does not mention a lock file. How do I find out if there is a lock file? How do I get one working? Do I necessarily need one, perhaps the binary determines its running status before trying to start a second copy? Actually, I think I discovered that miredo will not start a second copy, oops. >>> The other choice is to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but that >>> won't give you control with the system command. >> I MUST include this in my docs.

Miredo comes from sourceforge.
