In linux you can 'kill'       it by PID or program name, so you don't need a semaphore file for this kind of       mechanism...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/101 200 424 426 550       SEEN-BY: 229/664 1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5832 5853 6309 249/109       SEEN-BY: 249/206 307 317 280/464 5003 5555 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
