...of a shell script for rsync that won't start again if it is already running? I thought of using a lock file, but what if it is killed mid script or bombs?
You write your PID to the lock file, then in startup, you check if the lock file exist and if the PID process is running, then it is still active.
It could be that the process is just hung, so this method will only help assure that you do not start a second copy.
