Multiplateform "is a program running"

[bunjee]

Hey guys,

Has anyone coded a function to know if a given binary is currently running or not ?

e.g:

if (isRunning("myExe.exe") == false)
{
     // ...
}

if (isRunning("myExe.exe") == false)
{
     // ...
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks.

You can use shared memory (QSharedMemory) or a system semaphore (QSystemSemaphore) for that. If you're interested in assuring that there is only one instance of the application running, search for QtSingleApplication or look into our wiki.
