Is my script already running?

[PSmithy]

A script I've created takes a while to run various checks before it displays the first user response screen. Is there a way of adding a command at the begining so the script can check if it's already running?

For example an impatient user double clicks the icon and nothing appears onscreen straight away so they double click it again - at this point I'd like it to show an "Already Running" error message.

Thanks for any help

At the beginning of your script,
use

Wscript.Echo <your message>

but you should use cscript host (cscript //h:cscript).
It will show the message on command prompt.
