Question #269945 on Duplicity changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Kenneth Loafman proposed the following answer:
At the moment, no.  Please use the "Create bug report" link above the
Message box to create a bug report from this question.  That will
preserve this note.

In order to do this we would need to go to a timed lockfile and refresh
the timer on a regular basis, similar to  a built in watchdog function.
There are hazards in this if the users system is slow, so consider the
tradeoffs.
