Restart Delphi Application Programmatically

Question

It should not be possible to run multiple instances of my application. Therefore the project source contains:

CreateMutex (nil, False, PChar (ID));
if (GetLastEr         


        

Answer 1

You could pass a command line argument like "restart" and run a Sleep() before you try to acquire the Mutex or try to acquire the mutex in a loop that sleeps a while.

Also you could set up communication between both processes, but that might be overkill.
