Simple solution, program with Unit Tests, so you app is rock solid and
will never crash. :-)

Anybody know if mutexes in Linux is system wide?

Well.The main problem with linux in this particular case is that it's
hard to find such global resource which is:
- atomic (no other process can get it in the same time like file lock or
system-wide mutex)
- automatically released when application exit or crash or being killed
Maybe unix sockets ?
Someone with deeper linux knowledge ?
