saintdev - 2016-07-20

I'm on Linux (Gentoo) using Password Safe 0.99 beta. When I try to run Password Safe, it pops up telling me Another instance of Password Safe is already running, but no other instance is currently running.

$ pgrep -ifl pwsafe $

I'm not sure what I can do to start Password Safe, any suggestions?

  Try finding a file 'pwsafe.lck' and remove it.

I get this also on Mint with v1.01 beta.
Thanks for the fix with deleting the .lck

Could be a bug, maybe, that the .lck is not deleted when pwsafe closes?
If pwsafe is running in the background when the system shuts down ...
could that be the cause? Just a thought

Thanks for the great Linux versions!
