It can be done but semaphoring files as existing can be tricky when your're
rendering on more than one machine. It's not as simple as just checking the
file exists because 2 machines could be checking at the same time and both
get 'no frame'. From C you can probably lock files but from a script, the
way I do it is to create a lock file using whatever make directory command
is available. If the command fails then I *know* someone's already doing a
render, if not then go ahead and render, deleting the lock dir when I'm
done. I also use this for distributed rendering of mi files. Simple,
foolproof, works like a charm.
