Dear fellow Fedoreans,

How can I make sure that only one instance of gkrellm runs.  When I start one of my machines run several instances of gkrellm.  I chose in the configuration run only one, but that does not work :(

As you can see there are several gkrellm's running :(  

Cameron shared a script with me:

#!/bin/bash
#
pidfile=$HOME/.grkrellm.pid
  if [ -s "$pidfile" ] && pid=$(<"$pidfile") && kill -0 "$pid" 2>/dev/null
  then
    echo GKrellM already running, pid=$pid, not starting a new one.
  else
    gkrellm &           # start gkrellm
    echo $! >"$pidfile" # save the pid
  fi


And it finds that gkrellm is already running so it quits. The script works, but I have to find a way to eliminate the extra gkrellm's.  
How can I prevent the other gkrellm's and run only one?

TIA,

Antonio
