qz:steal support #596

@tresf

Description

@tresf

Ability to modify the qz:launch behavior to gracefully shut down the OTHER instance of QZ Tray.

  • Currently if QZ Tray is started, it will shut down the CURRENT instance of QZ Tray if another instance is running
  • It may be beneficial to allow the new instance to "steal" the process and shut down the other
  • This can have undefined results when multiple users are working simultaneously, it should only ever be deployed in environments where workstations are shared (not in a Terminal Services or Citrix style environment when they are using the workstations simultaneously)

The new feature should be usable through Command Line or HTML/URL:

  • Command Line:

    java -jar qz-tray.jar --steal
  • HTML/URL:

    <a href="qz:steal">Start QZ Tray, stealing it from another user if possible</a>
