I want to run a calibre content server on a copy of my library. Since the server detects changes in the database and reloads if necessary this should not be a problem. However, the server refuses to start with "Another calibre program such as another instance of calibre-server or the main calibre program is running."

Multiple programs updating the same SQLite database is a bad idea, but in this case calibre and calibre-server use different libraries and hence different databases.

Code:

% calibre --with-library /bulk/calibre/tmp &
[1] 22969
Using library at /bulk/calibre/tmp
% calibre-server /bulk/calibre/bar
Another calibre program such as another instance of calibre-server or the main calibre program is running. Having multiple programs that can make changes to a calibre library running at the same time is not supported.
Exit 1

Is this intentional?
