In Windows, you can also use taskkill.exe to close the pdf before the 
compilation

Here is the little script (lily.bat ) i use to run lilypond.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

@echo off
cd /D "%~dp1"

taskkill /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq %~n1.pdf*" > null
cls

echo.
echo --------------------------------
echo.

lilypond "%~nx1"
if exist "%~n1.pdf" start "" "%~n1.pdf"


echo.
echo -------------------------------
echo.
pause >nul

I think something equivalent can be made in linux.
