Problem
Currently, when running
codecarbon monitor
while another instance is active, the CLI displays "Another instance of codecarbon is already running" but continues its infinite loop instead of terminating. This creates a confusing user experience.Solution
Modify the behavior to raise an exception when detecting another running instance, forcing the program to terminate unless the calling code explicitly handles this case.
This makes the error condition more explicit and helps prevent unintended parallel executions of codecarbon monitoring.
Please review and provide feedback on this approach.
