Hello everyone.

Quastion is:

How to block script to run more than once in this same time ?

Details:

When some one will be trying to run script twice... must get message form second that 'application is still runing' and exit this second one.

Look up this func in the Helpfile:

#Include <Misc.au3>
_Singleton($sOccurenceName[, $iFlag = 0])

Whats the benefits of using _Singleton vs just doing

If UBound(ProcessList(@ScriptName)) > 2 Then
MsgBox(64, "Warning", "Script Already running", 5)
Exit
EndIf

$list = ProcessList(@ScriptName)
If $list[0][0] > 1 Then
   Exit
EndIf

Or use something like this.

The difference is simple:

_Singleton() will identify the same script even when renamed to MickyMouse.exe which the other solutions won't.
