I'm guessing you mean as a result of giving a shutdown command. Good idea. I know some
of the debian distro has actions like that, but for services that are in /etc/init.d. You could
do a pipe:
ps ax | grep gnucash
as a command run from inside a perl or python script,
then so some text processing on the result...
john at toolbench:~$ ps ax | grep gnucash
5720 pts/1 Sl 0:20 gnucash xxxxxx.gnucash
5737 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep gnucash
I just use the open anyway dialog box answer to deal with the lock files.
Have not had trouble.
Am I risking some trouble doing that?
