The reason of the request is to avoid problem discussed this <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=155">thread</a>. ID: 1261 · Reply Quote

But for the gui there's no checks and no lock-file. Since AFAIK the current gui will be removed for a stand-alone gui that monitors/controls the cli this should "soon" be fixed...
