Else  you can do some JNI stuff to manipulate registries on windows and a semaphone on unix this will be the best way to do it. --Shankar  -----Original Message----- From: H Shankaranarayanan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 3:00 PM To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] RE: re-running a running class Hi David   You might want to change your application to create a file on disk in which it stores it PID perhaps. And when try running the app again check if this PID file exists and handle accordingly.   Another option is to just create a Socket on a particular port after running the application and try creatiing a socket on same port just before running the application too. So the second time u try running the app the check #1 would fail stating that a copy of this application is already running.   The point is that only IPC available here in Java is sockets else with Semaphores we can easily achieve this on Unix executables.   --Shankar -----Original Message----- From: David Treves [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 3:47 PM To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] re-running a running class Hi all,   I have a small GUI application (SWING). When the users runs it, he gets a JFrame with a message, he may discard this window and the application is still running in the background.   My question is how can I set the initiation process in a way that if the application is running already it will reveal that window instead of starting a new "java" process?   Thanks!
