UDP Port Conflict Warning
Posted: 02 Jul 2022, 02:45
Hi,
My kids and I like to run multiple concurrent instances of Log4OM v2 concurrently when we play radio together (each on our own callsign). It's nice to have everyone's stuff available on a single computer. We run each instance under its own Windows username using runas.exe (though all from the same desktop session). Each instance also has unique configurations, and network ports for incoming/outgoing/clusters, etc. Everything works pretty well.
One minor annoyance - on startup, it rightfully warns the user:
Would it be possible to either:
- Check if there are actually port conflicts prior to warning?
- Check if the process is running under the same username prior to warning? (Though the check for actual port conflict is probably more sensible)
- Allow the warning to be disabled as a config flag?
One of these enhancements would be great, as the current setup breaks my startup automation (which organizes each window in its respective virtual desktop/etc).
Thanks for your consideration!

Code: Select all
Application is already running.
Starting more than one instance may create conflicts if you have UDP ports opened in both. Continue?
