To be honest I never consider adding the check because I wanted something quick and dirty that would work (and assumed that anyone looking for it would know when to run it as well). I’ll add it to the blog post here and the git repository for any future users as sanity checks are a good thing.

You might want to check if Chromium is running before extracting and installing the update, like so:

running="$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep Chromium)" if [ -n "$running" ] ; then echo 'Chromium is currently running. Please quit Chromium before running the updater.' exit fi

Just so you know…this still works! If only I had discovered this back in May. I too have been “stupidly” using Chromium far before it was even remotely stable like it is these days!
