SoloCDM,
Short answer: You can't. (At least AFAIK :-)
Long answer: You can. Almost.
You may create a shell script (I believe) or a Perl script (I know) that
will use flock to verify that it is running in one instance only. The
script may then execute your program, which (and this is the 'almost'
part) has an obscure name in an obscure directory that 'only you know'
and nobody else is aware of. This assumes that 'ordinary' users may
execute, but not read your script.
Regards
Gustav
