Hi Vino,
I tried using a temporary file with pids and creating a lock directory to check for another process instance. But in my situation, there is one more complication. The script which is invoking the C++ program exits even before the other process is completed. (Actually, this script is invoking the C++ executable using another script. this second script invokes the C++ program in the background and do not wait for the it to finish.) Hence, even if the lock file is deleted, the C++ program may be running.
Regards,
Sim
