openapp is a shell script and there is no way for it to find out whether and application is already running or not.

Most likely you should be using gopen for what ever purpose you are currently using openapp. This is an Objective-C tool that will contact the workspace to start up applications or to open files with running applications.

By default openapp allows you to open an application a number of times, which can become quite confusing when looking for the correct instance in your dock. It should keep a list of open apps and prevent other instances from opening if they share the same identifier.
