Restart Delphi Application Programmatically -
it should not possible run multiple instances of application. therefore project source contains:
createmutex (nil, false, pchar (id)); if (getlasterror = error_already_exists) halt;
now want restart application programmatically. usual way be:
appname := pchar(application.exename) ; shellexecute(handle,'open', appname, nil, nil, sw_shownormal) ; application.terminate;
but won't work in case because of mutex. if release mutex before starting second instace won't work because shutdown takes time , 2 instance cannot run in parallel (because of common resources , other effects).
is there way restart application such characteristics? (if possible without additional executable)
thanks in advance.
perhaps should think outside box. instead of futzing mutex / instance logic, create another executable waits app close starts again. added bonus, can later use mechanism to, example, update of main app's binaries. it's easier run elevated instead of maintaining different integrity levels inside same app, etc.
