Run a shell command: multiple instances of stack

[glenn52]

I use a button to run a windows script
get shell (commandline) etc
I have tested the command line in Win cmd & *.bat file and it works flawlessly
I run the script (hit button) in the editor and it works flawlessly
As a standalone, I hit button and a second instance of my standalone app runs in front
Win task manager shows the 2 processes running
Close the latest process and the first one does not complete the script

Any ideas please??

Win 7
LC 5.5.5

Hi Glenn,

not sure what the question is

But I guess you want to prevent the second standalone from launching, right?
In that case add a "on relaunch" handler to the stack script:

Code: Select all

on relaunch
  ## do nothing actually :-)
end relaunch

If you do not PASS that message, no other instance of the EXE will be launched!

Best

Klaus
