Bo respondeth: No, this isn't something you can do in Qt. You have to do platform specific code for it. Which means it's now off topic on the Qt list, but here you go anyway :) You can use EnumProcesses() to go through all the processes to find the one you are looking for. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682629(v=vs.85).aspx And GetProcessTimes to get the timing you need. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683223(v=vs.85).aspx I hope this helps, Bo. Under my ASSUMPTION that the process you want to "check-for" is YOUR application, the "Qt-Solutions" are add-ons with Windows-specific implementations, and you can use "qtsingleapplication" to find your already-running application: https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-solutions/qt-solutions/source/80592b0e7145fb876ea0e84a6e3dadfd5f7481b6: We use it, Qt4/Qt5, works great to check if the single application is running. However, it does not track the duration for how long that application is running. But, if it's your application, then you can easily establish a duration counter within the application, find it through "qtsingleapplication", and then communicate with the process to determine how long it has been running. If it's NOT your application, though, then I defer back to Bo's answer. --charley
