Srcollection Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Hello all, I'd like to see if anyone has an efficient way of detecting an existing instance of an AutoIt executable. Let's say I create and compile an executable that runs in the background for 10 minutes. I'd like to have the code check to see if an instance is already running and if so, exit. So if I launch the app the first time it determines it is the only version running. Where I launch it the second time, it detects the existing instance and exits. Thanks, Edited May 26, 2009 by SmOke_N removed links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
