In QNX6, what is the recommended way to test to see if your
[server/resource manager] process is already running and if so, quit. I
can’t test the existence of any prefix as it can be user defined and
therefore cannot be relied on to be accurate. In QNX4 I could have it
attach a name and test for that, but that approach of course no longer
applies.
Thanks,
Geoff.

In the simple (local) case, name_attach() for a second attach of the
same local name will fail with errno 17 (EEXISTS).
