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!

PS.
You don't need variable running, you can just do Return False or

Also try is unneeded.
You are right!
And for the subject of the thread, next time I will read carefully.
Sorry!

Not very elegant, but works:
Dim sOutput As String
Exec [pgrep, -f, -l, NameOfYourProgram.gambas] Wait To sOutput
If Split(Trim$(sOutput), gb.NewLine).Count 1 Then
'Allready running
EndIf

Hi,
Is there
Just another way:
PUBLIC FUNCTION pidOf(program AS String) AS Boolean
'checks if a program is running
DIM gotpid AS String =
DIM running AS Boolean = FALSE
TRY SHELL pidof program TO gotpid
IF gotpid THEN
running = TRUE
ELSE
running = FALSE
