    Default Named Mutex in QT

    Hi All,

    Does anyone know whether there is something similar to a named global mutex in QT. I have a windows/linux app, where i only want one logged in user to be able to perform a particular update task, so was thinking of using a named mutex, but can't see this being possible in QT.

    If it's not possible, i'll just use the OS specific named mutex functions myself.

    Maybe QSystemSemaphore is what are you looking for.
