Tell me how, if you know. Maybe the standard library D already
has the required functionality? Or are there better ways to
only run one instance of the app?
Typically this is done using pid files.

But I don't know if MacOS has a specialized call for it, or if
you have to do it yourself. I think you need to lock the file
with `flock` to get it to work properly.

I can't use flock, because my app uses the file rename to
auto-update in Windows. It renames itself to old.app.exe,
downloads the new version and runs it, then exits. I haven’t
figured out how to do this in other OSs yet.
