Status in Kabikaboo: Confirmed

Bug description:
In 1.6 this worked.  
It should be a simple fix for Linux.

Modify the search function in kabikaboo.py ~ line 2938:

# check for duplicate instance of kabikaboo
    def check_for_duplicate_instance(self):
        result = False
        # WARNING: LINUX ONLY CODE
        output = commands.getoutput('ps -ax')
        # check for 2 or more regular instances
        if output.count('python kabikaboo.py') >= 2:
            result = True
        # check for instance and development instance
        if output.count('python kabikaboo.py') >= 1 and output.count('python -W ignore::DeprecationWarning kabikaboo.py') >= 1:
            result = True
        if result:
            print 'Duplicate instance of Kabikaboo already running.'
            print 'Will not open last file in this case.'
            print 'Starting with new document.'
            self.file.working_file = ''
        return result

Windows will need different code to do this.
