Plz help with a java app

Question

Dear experts,
I have a java application in form of a running thread that periodically does an activity ie running a BAPI in
SAP.I like to schedule this application at evening time.
Problem is that incase somebody remotely login to this Windows server using RDP and leave an open RDP session,
two instance starts one on RDP and other on console.
Now to overcome this problem i devised a solution myself that incase application detects session is remote
then it should exit itself. This is mentioned in forum undergiven.

My perception behind carrying out this development was that incase session starts in remote then
app will automatically close and finally letting running only in console.
Now what happens is that scheduled task doesnot start at all on console ,incase console as well as RDP are open.
Instead it starts only on RDP failing instantly.So in nutshell,task doesnot start at all.My app log say that
service tried to open in remote session and got closed.Plz help as i have no way out.
My second question is that if i schedule task using RDP on remote server,will it run on Remote,console or both
of them.
Regards,
Aditya.

My app also generates a .lock file and make sure that only one instance is running.Still problem remains unresolvedAnd combining your other thread with the word "also" from this post just exacerbates your "problem". Also, the "lock" file was not to prevent two simulteneous runs (that leads to very distasteful race condition), but rather to prevent two runs within a set period of time when combined with the ServerSocket approach to prevent simulteneous runs.
