Compiled Script is running again and again

[elgaza]

Hi

I don't know why but when the compiled script is executing I see after a while in the trayicon that another instance of

the same script is running

is there a way to restrict the script to run only one instance?

Thank you very much.

Does it have a run() statement in it ?

Hi

Yes it runs a file and then does what it needs to do , click the buttons

if thats what you meant.

Add this to the top of your scripts

_Singleton("blahblahblah")

You will need to include the Misc.au3 header file.

What is the programname you start with the Run() statement?

...and what is the name of your compiled script ?

I am new to this so I dont know much about it

you said to add _Singleton("blahblahblah")

what is the blahblah should be just any thing or the name of the script?

and how do I add the Misc.au3 header file.?

Sorry about that, add this to the top of the script

#include <misc.au3>
_Singleton("CanBeAnything")

Not really... was trying to understand why the script starts itself... in other words not fight the symptoms but find the cause .....

There must be a reason why the script starts again and have seen several times before that people use RUN("xyz.exe") and call the script XYZ.au3, then after compilation it ends up as XYZ.exe thus shelling itself....
