Research direction
Start by reading issue #68 and its related pull request for the existing lockfile-management approach. Then locate the current process-detection entry point and investigate how /proc/ can identify MMTC instances owned by other users. Done means lockfile handling detects those instances without incorrectly treating an active process as stale.
