The failed to Create a Local Socket error message, which I'm betting is the one you got, will appear if Sesame Server is already running and you try to start another one on the same ports. So the original server was still running when the second one was trying to start up.

Well, not to argue, but I'm almost sure this is not the case.  When I shut down Sesame Server I used Server Administration.  It ran its notification routine, shut down my client, and then shut down SS.  It was only then that I tried starting it up again.  But again, we were in rush mode so who can say?  It shut down when I acknowledged its error message, and then I started it up again, after which all was well.  I'm pretty sure the "socket" error said something about "available", but in my haste I did not write it down and my memory sucks since the ECT. In any event, I'll be sure to try to take my time in the future, just in case.

Scott,

It can take a bit for the OS to release the ports. If you try to restart the server before the OS actually finishes releasing the ports, you can get this message.

Ah, OK, that's what happened then.  Thank you,  good to know, I'll force myself to slow down a bit in the future.

Code
Select All
 Is there a way to program Sesame so that if a user already has an instance
of it running some kind of message can appear to tell him so if he tries to start a
second (or third, or fourth) instance? Or is there any other way to enable only one
 instance of Sesame.exe to run on a client?


No.    



Yes, you could create a batch file to start Sesame and put controls in there to send a message if Sesame is already running on the local machine.

Hello Scott.

Here is a utility for you that will only allow you to open up one copy of Sesame.  Everyone is welcome to use it.

In getting ready for this weekend's SANE meeting I found a utility that I had created for you.  It is in response to your request to only open up one copy of Sesame.  I had put it aside to give to you at the next SANE meeting, but you did not make it,

You can download the file from here:
http://www.SensibleSolutions.org/downloadsSS/SesameSingleSession.exe

The file is an executable file, virus free. Download it and copy to any location.
Installs nothing on your computer, makes no changes, does no writing.
Make a desktop shortcut to this utility.

How it works:
Looks to start Sesame 2x, if not found looks for Sesame 1.x
Looks in the default folders for Sesame program.
Looks for file names sesame.bat first, if not found it then looks for sesame.exe.
This allows you to start with the plain sesame.exe file, or from a batch file that could be a Client session, or with whatever startup switches you want.  Just make the batch file as you need it.
This utility can be modified/customized by me to be more personal to your business if necessary.
(Feedback would be good about its operation).

Hope you can make it to the SANE meeting this Saturday.

Hello Bob!
This Utility is very meaningful, programed practically and excellently.
You even have this personally for my purposes and compile with a German layout!
BRAVO!
MERCI!
THANKS and  thanks again Bob!

That is to be simply recommended.

Thanks for the bump of the topic guys.  I've been meaning to check back in about this because the problem occurred again last week, but I've been too busy with non-Sesame stuff to visit here much, and our app has been running perfectly otherwise.

I just downloaded your utility this morning, Bob, and it's just swell.  As for customization, I would prefer that it start Sesame silently if no other instances of it are running, otherwise the error message would come up.  And the error message would need to be tweaked as I am reluctant to call my users dummies.  Wink  Let me know what would be involved with fine-tuning that.

Thanks Bob, this is great!

Thanks.  I'm in and out, mostly out.  Wish I had more time to read the boards.

Hi Scott

Wanted to let you know that I just sent you a customized generic copy of the Sesame Single Session utility per your request.

Thanks Bob.  Unfortunately, our firewall chumped it as dangerous.  Probably an .exe, right?  The firewall chumps .exe's in email.  Can you zip it or change the extension and resend?  Thanks!

Just did a resend.

The original was a ZIP file with an internal EXE file.
This file is an INF file (for INFinity).  Just rename it to ZIP and extract the EXE file.

Sorry Bob, it's just not getting through.  Let's see...you could send it to Infinity@captaininfinity.us or maybe upload it to your website and send me the link to download?  Sorry to put you through so much trouble.

Just sent it to email address from above.  If no good I will provide a download link. 

We should probably be exchanging these messages in personal emails vs. using the forum.  These messages are probably of no interest to others.

We also have a SANE meeting coming up in a few weeks.  You could come to that and get a copy then. Roll Eyes

Got it!  Thanks.  Will test and let you know.  Future comments will go to email, unless it's something other Sesame users can use.  Thanks again, Bob!
