Hi,

well, there are workarounds with temporary files, but what about allowing Reload to give some commandline-parameters to tell the script how it was reloaded?

You probably already know about the OnExit command, by which you can check the value of A_ExitReason to find out why a script is being asked to terminate (Reload, #SingleInstance, etc.)

If you want to have complete control over how Reload works -- including the passing of custom parameters -- have the script execute itself with AutoHotkey.exe and pass some extra parameters. You can also pass the parameter /r or /restart to simulate a Reload (as documented).

Thanks Chris, checking if a script was reloaded instead of beeing normally started was my aim.
