Run a program only if is not already running

[Psychotron]

Hi all,

Is there a way to launch a program only if it is not already running?

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance

Check out _Singleton() in the helpfile.

Psychotron,

Check out ProcessExists in the help file.  _Singleton() would be used if you just want one instance of your script running and ProcessExists would check if any processes are running (i.e. chrome.exe, notepad.exe, iexplore.exe).

If ProcessExists("notepad.exe") Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Only one notepad.exe process can run at a time.")
Else
    ; run your code here
    Run("notepad.exe")
EndIf
