Ouch - that may be quite a big deal for us.

I guess we will recreate the problem before attempting to solve.

Cheers,
Will

Subject: Re: [Cs-studio-users] launcher.openFile and macros

.. but it doesn't work reliably on Linux for us.

With the  --launcher.openFile option, the launcher tries to locate an already running instance.
If found, it asks that instance to open the file. Otherwise it starts a new instance of CSS.

How the already running instance is located depends on the operating system, but basically it looks for a window with matching name, and then sends a message to that window, for example an X11 message on Linux.
That's also why the product name must be set correctly, see http://cs-studio.sourceforge.net/docbook/ch29.html

On our Linux setups, it works for a little while. But once CSS has been running for longer, the launcher will no longer find the already running instance.
