There are a few strategies.
1.
Update a Database entry upon starting and exiting guardian indicating
a segment is in use. Other attempts to start guardian with that
segment would realize guardian is already processing.
2.
Winforms probably has a findwindows call (win32 API does) and if
window is titled with "guardian - segment name" you can search for
that window to avoid collisions.
As a scheduling app I highly recommend writing it as a service.
