Sure. 

I am worried about:
* Application A opens communication with token and locks it.
* Application B tries to open communication with token.
* Application B has no knowledge token is locked by application A. No
error message is given. The user waits during minutes, thinking "My
token does not work".

Is there any mechanism informing an application requesting
opensc-pkcs11.so that a smartcard is locked in exclusive more (=being
accessed)?

To give an example, I could verify:
* Firefox runs, logs in the token in exclusive mode.
* SSH client runs with pkcs11 authentication. SSH client will wait for
minutes until it times out. No specific error message is displayed.

Is there a way to inform opensc-pkcs11.so that a communication is
already established by Firefox and that SSH should start without using
pkcs11?

Kind regards,
