I can think of 2 ways off the top of my head.... 1) put the lockfile in a memory-based file system like /tmp, /run, etc. This is probably the "correct" way. 2) compare when the system was booted against when the lock file was created. If boot time > lock file time, lock file is stale. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
