This does:
if [[ -z `pgrep -x commandname -u euid ]] ; then
   # Ok, no other instance is running
fi

There's no function in librep to get the euid, but it's in env-var
$EUID. This may not work outside of linux, but if it's an optional
argument, it never hurts. Wow! (It can be anytime, no reason to
make it in 1.8.)
