The lyxpipe files may be there alone if LyX has been killed
unexpectedly, so this test in not enough robust.
You need to check if there is an active LyX with ps, e.g. in Perl
if ((-e "$ENV{HOME}/.lyxpipe.in") && (grep(/lyx/,`ps -u $ENV{USER}`))) {
# open a buffer through the pipe
}
else {
`$0 $ARGV[0]`
}
I'm unfamiliar with file loading in buffers with the LyX server,
the commented line should be repaced by the correct syntax.
