Run same script some times.

[Walrus]

Hi, is there a way to run the same script for example 2 times at the same time?

I mean run script example.exe second time when script is already open (by AutoIt function)

So, for example i'm having 2 scripts:

manager.exe (au3)

script.exe (au3)

In manager.exe i'm having button "Start" with function Run("script.exe") and this is working, but only for one script at same time.

Sorry for my english,

Walrus.

Can you show a reproducer? (A short example of code that shows what you try and what is not working?) Because this:

run("notepad.exe")
run("notepad.exe")

... starts two notepads just fine.

Func Start()

    run("script.exe")

EndFunc

It it running only 1 script.exe (i'm pressing startbutton 10+times)

Maybe i need open it with admin permissions, can i do it in autoit? Or just #RequireAdmin keyword in script.exe?

Do you by chance have this:

_Singleton()

in your code? As, this will only allow 1 instance of a script to run.

You can try this and say me if that work:

Func Start()

    run("script.exe"&" /separate")

EndFunc

This is a windows atribut to run a process on a separate process ID this allow to use different user for the same process. It depend witch kind of process you try to run together with same name.

For exemple if you try this with "Explorer.exe"

You'll have the permition to run Multiple explorer.exe instance. only if you use the "/separate" atribut. Give me feedback plz
