Unfortunately I see no way. Nobody implemented that mechanism for WIN32. It is not very difficult to do. I remember that XMMS in the old days was using a socket mechanism to check that an instance was running and if it was the case, it was simply sending a command over the socket interface. Ekiga can not do that (yet). But Michael Rickmann is doing a lot of work on the win32 build nowadays. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\ Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ Be IP : http://www.beip.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:[email protected] _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
