Answer 1

On linux I can open two msql workbench instances. The second instance can be opened by running the executable file directly.

Find where the executable file is located by running

ps -ef | grep workbench
20084  1989  0 May09 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/mysql-workbench
20123 20084  0 May09 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/catchsegv /usr/bin/mysql-workbench-bin
20125 20123  0 May09 ?        00:13:25 /usr/bin/mysql-workbench-bin

Then run the executable file as a root user

sudo /usr/bin/mysql-workbench
