Got it. Will check patches against it and make any changes needed. > > Regarding the need to run a single instance: you do realise that init > scripts do the exclusion already?

Yeah, not all distributions use a function like this. The idea here is that, if someone runs the program directly from the command line, I want the same behavior except for possibly command line arguments present in the configuration. Such as if someone runs the program in the foreground maybe with debug enabled. A check to see if it is already running is just a small part of that.
