Hi everybody,

I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to not run an application the second time within 2 minutes from the first run of it in C# code. In my application log I can see

********************************************************************************
12/7/2020 7:15:23 AM: Beginning Execution of SomeFile.exe.
12/7/2020 7:15:24 AM: Program ending successfully.
********************************************************************************

12/7/2020 7:16:52 AM: Beginning Execution of SomeFile.exe.
12/7/2020 7:16:53 AM: Program ending successfully.
********************************************************************************

The way everything is setup (though the Window Scheduler job running packages, etc.) is quite complex, so I cannot change the whole setup. I'm just wondering what may be the best way to prevent second run of that application if it happens within the minutes of the previous run?

What do you think I should use as the detection approach?

Thanks in advance.

Also, by looking into the log file I can see that an error (if it happens) always happen at the exact same time: 1:45am in the morning. Do you know what may typically run at that time and how should I find out?
