I'm looking for simple ways to monitor and limit the number of
instances of our Python application that gets run on our in-house
Terminal Servers (2003 and 2008).
The purpose of this restriction is to make sure we don't overload
our servers. This is an internal administrative requirement - I am
not looking for a licensing solution.
Background: The application in question is written in Python 2.6
(32-bit). Our Terminal Server environments are used for testing and
it is not uncommon for the test builds of our application to lock up
or abort abnormally. Please consider these non-typical circumstances
when suggesting a solution :)
If the limit is one, then a lazy and dirty way is to bind to a tcp
port (just pick a fixed one that's not used by other services- you
could make it configurable), and exit if the bind fails.
