I am using Fedora Linux with Gnome. Is there an utility or a way to only allow single instance of an app running on the desktop? (This app itself does not have single instance running option)<br />
<br />
I need this feature so I won't accidentally open 2 instances of the same program, overwriting the same file, making it lose the new file content when saved by the other instance of the program with the old content, because this already happened to me and it was very frustrating to lose all my hours of work :(

An utility or a way to allow only one instance of app running in Gnome desktop

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
