Put you PID in that file. That way, another instance can read that file
(if it exists) and check, if a process with that PID is still active.
If not, it's a likely, that the previous instance crashed ..
Sure, this -might- also give a false positive (prev. inst. crashed, and
another process got the very same PID in the meantime ..), but that's
pretty unlikely ..
