Here is a simple Powershell code that checks if a specified process is already running and launches second instance of the application if it’s not already running.
[code language=”powershell”]
$process = "mspaint"
$ret = Get-Process -Name $process -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($ret) {
Write-Host "INFO: $process already running, skipping start of another instance of the same process"
} else {
Write-Host "VERBOSE: Starting $process now"
Invoke-Item "$process.exe"
}
[/code]
.
