I'm using Amazon Linux. I'm running an automated script through Jenkins with this command



Xvfb :10 -ac


However, if this command has already been run before, I get the error ...



(EE) 
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 10
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X10-lock
and start again.
(EE)


How can I modify the above command to only run if there it was not already invoked before with the given variable?

          As the message says, there is a lock file, /tmp/.X10-lock. So modify your script thusly to only execute if the lock does not exist:



          if [[ ! -f /tmp/.X10-lock ]]; then
          Xvfb :10 -ac
          else
          echo "INFO: $(date) - X Server already running" 1>&2
          fi
