Tracker daemon can be started multiple time , and tracker daemon has readonly mode. When trackerd runs, it will check one lock file under Home directory, if it does not exist, tracker daemon will create one and call lockf to lock it. And if another tracker daemon want to startup, it finds the lock file exist and is locked, the second tracker daemon will be started in readonly mode. that mean the second daemon can accept user request for search, but will not write any data into the database.
