I had this problem as well. The program uses a file ~/.cameramonitor.pid to save the current PID. If it crashes and the PID isn't active all is well. However, if for some reason the old PID matches something that is already running it gives the error. The easy solution is to just delete .cameramonitor.pid. Moving forward the program should check the /proc/PID/cmdline to make sure it truly is already running.
