Did you try having a separate project variable for each app that's boolean?  You could check that state when you think you need to start it again.  Make it a project suite variable so it carries between projects.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

 

I now use

Project.Variables.appRunning = app;

to store the application I just started and to check, if later on I should do nothing or close the current application and start another one.

 

Kind regards,
