Hi folks,

I want to write some kind of test to check at startup if another instance of my script is already running.

I don't want to handle writing of a PID file because it is too Unix/Linux specific way to do this, and I need to keep the code to be cross-platform.

I think the better way to achieve this is to use some process control, but I'm a neebie and I don't see how to do this in a safe and clean way.

Any idea ?

Best regards,
Strato

Here is a recipe for Linux version of singleinstance class:

and I wrote and contributed the equivalent Windows version:

Hope this helps.
