Single or Multiple Sessions

PrestoPlot has a new simplified session manager.

Only ONE copy of PrestoPlot can be run per user with any given session name.

When PrestoPlot is executed it will use the session name, if present (default option or command line option), and check to see if there is already a session with this name:

  • If a session exists with the name PrestoPlot will send its command line to be processed by this session and will terminate.
  • If there is no session with this name, then PrestoPlot will take over the session name and process the command line itself.
  • If there is no session name PrestoPlot will run independently.

The current session name can be changed in the preferences or in a PCF file if the name is not already in use by a session. This allows using different PrestoPlot sessions for different activities.
