Add 'lock' file under daemon base and flock it, so only one perf daemon can run on top of it.
Each daemon tries to create and lock BASE/lock file, if it's successful we are sure we're the only daemon running over the BASE. Once daemon is finished, file descriptor to lock file is closed and lock is released. Example: # cat ~/.perfconfig [daemon] base=/opt/perfdata [session-cycles] run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a [session-sched] run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a Starting the daemon: # perf daemon start And try once more: # perf daemon start failed: another perf daemon (pid 775594) owns /opt/perfdata will end up with an error, because there's already one running on top of /opt/perfdata.
