A dribble file might be an indication...

But anyway, I'm not sure that this is something that should be done.
I'm often ssh-ing in from somewhere to read news on my home machine, and
starting a Gnus works just fine, even if one is already running.  You
just ... have to be careful not to let the older one overwrite the state
created by the new one.

But I guess that's what's Gnus slaves do, anyway...  But will the
"other" running Gnus detect the slave data automatically without doing
anything?
