Advanced tools
Readme
This small library is there to acquire a tcp based lock by opening a tcp-server. Since ports cannot be listened from more than 1 process we can use this behaviour to acquire a kind of lock based on port.
npm install tcp-mutex --save
var {tryLock} = require('tcp-mutex');
tryLock(1337).then((success)=>{
console.log("locked successfully");
// we can start our application here
}).catch(err=>{
console.log("This application already started");
process.exit(0);
});
