Re: [Gambas-user] Check if a program is already started
Your code is fine for checking if some program is running, but it cannot check double instance. If your program asks pid of itself, it will find it! I didn't know about pidof (I have used Linux about one year), so thanks! Jussi PS. You don't need variable running, you can just do Return False or Return True. Also try is unneeded.
