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
