My app is called by a web application, which passes parameters to this exe. Now the problem is, if the application is already running, it takes quite a long time, until the new instance is started, the paramete...
I’ve been asked if we can optionally “single-instance” our web portal.

Is there a way to let gVim only run a single instance, so that when a new file is opened with it it's automatically opened in a new tab in the currently running instance? I know you can do that by passing --remote-tab-silent but I want to configure gvim so that this becomes the default behavior. i.e. I want to type gvim filename and mak...
I have a service that I would like it to become single instance, because when i click restart on services.msc, the new instance of the service starts when the old instance still haven't finished (because it has to perform some actions).

Does anybody know of a good code-example of how to do that ? Please keep in mind the...

There are a lot of solutions for restricting an application from running twice. Searching by process name, using a named mutex etc. But I all of these methods don't work if I want to restrict my application to the shell session. A user may have more than login session and shell on windows (right?)? If this is true I want to be able to r...
