Yes, I've seen a number of programs that do just that. Moest of them were on linux.
Disadvantage is that the program doesn't want to start anymore after a crash, and then an admin has to come who knows where that file is located and delete the file.
That could also be feature btw, if the program also checks for the existance of an application window or mutex to determine if it was a crash or a double start and then can take special measures in case of a crash such as rebuilding a databaseindex, submit a crash report or restoring the state of the program.
