Allow only once instance of a script

[sandyd]

Hi All,

is there any easy way to allow only once instance of my script at any one time.

I know I can do this with a gui app by setting the title, but is there any way for a non-gui script.

It's in the help file, question 14 of the FAQ:

14. How can I make sure only one copy of my script is run?

The easiest way is to rename the title of the hidden AutoIt window when your script first starts.

Then in the same script check for that window title existing - if it does then another

copy of the script is running.

; Place at the top of your script

$g_szVersion = "My Script 1.1"

If WinExists($g_szVersion) Then Exit ; It's already running

AutoItWinSetTitle($g_szVersion)

; Rest of your script goes here

Ohhh, Just my luck, search the forums then find out its in the FAQ.

Thanks for the info though.

I'll just go and give myself a slap now
