Spomky Registered Member Posts 15 Karma 0 OS	[SOLVED] Send arguments to a to a process already running (KUniqueApplication) Wed Jan 14, 2009 8:28 pm Hi, My application is a KUniqueApplication. I run it with some arguments: "myapp --load /path/to/a/file" And the application loads my file When I run my application one more time "myapp --load /path/to/another/file", the application does not run ; the process is already running. I want my second instance sends a command to the first one in order to load that second file. How to do that?

Spomky Registered Member Posts 15 Karma 0 OS	[SOLVED] Send arguments to a to a process already running (KUniqueApplication) Thu Jan 15, 2009 10:20 pm Thanks, it works very well :shade: But I have another problem now. My app returns Code: Select all `(8642)/: KUniqueApplication: Registering failed! (8642)/: Communication problem with "myapp" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : " "The name org.kde.myapp was not provided by any .service files" "`

Could you describe how you solved it. If someone is searching for the same error message and gets to this thread he can find a solution.
