This should be a Unix question, I don't know how to do this, but maybe
you can use Mutex to do this.
>man mutex
will give you detail information.

Subject: Check for instances running

Hi!

I want to check if there's other instances of a GTK program running.

I'm doing a kind of a lock file, where i keep the process pid, and at
the 
beginning of the program, i check i the file exist and if the pid is a
valid 
process.

Is this the best way to do it?
Are there any better method, like specific gtk or glib functions?

Thanks
