single instance of java native launcher

[rex]

Gigi,

I am using 4.7. The single instance function works well in most of time.

Normal behavior:

1, First instance of launcher runs and loads up application correctly.

2, Second and later instances of launcher run too, but their footprint is small at about 2.5 MB. It seems only launcher is running, no application is loaded.

3, When application exits, all instances are terminated and disappear from Task Manager.

However I found the following unexpected behavior from time to time.

First instance of launcher runs and loads application in memory too. But the application would start up. It acts as it were the second instance, with a normal footprint in memory as the application were loaded.

This usually happens when the application has been started and stopped a couple of times in a day.

Thanks,
Rex

Hi Rex,

This usually happens when the application has been started and stopped a couple of times in a day.

Maybe your application hangs up somehow and when you launch it an old instance is detected. Please verify if your application is closed correctly. You can verify this with a process explorer.

Let me know if the problem persist.

Best Regards,
Gigi

For sure I checked Task Manager every time the problem happens. There is no previous process hanging up there.

I will try to collect more details on this random issue. In the meantime, could you tell me whether there are some known issues on java launcher?

Thanks.
