R1

Project

Features

This project offers a Linux program via bin feature.

  • The program helps run one single instance of any program.
  • You have to provide full path of the target program. The path will be used as an identifier (ID) to keep track of its instances.

Currently only Linux is supported, because the program relies on abstract sockets (see unix(7)).

For more details, you can run the program with help command.

Examples:

~> r1 -- /usr/bin/echo test

Why?

For example, Qt Creator can run multiple instances. Sometimes you don't want that. Unfortunately there's no setting to tell it to run just one single instance.

There are 2 solutions:

  1. You can file a feature request (with a picture of your cat in it), and start praying for it to be accepted.

    This could take some time. But it's probably not one day. It's not 2 days either.

    1 week? Still seems impossible.

    ...

  2. Or,

    You can r1 it, professionally, just like this:

    r1 --ns=/usr/bin/notify-send --app-name='Qt Creator' -- /usr/bin/qtcreator

    Tip: you can find its icon here: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/
