I'd like to supplement Tom's response by saying that, when using 'chimera --send' with multiple instances running, whichever Chimera has most recently gotten focus (i.e. been clicked in) will receive the 'chimera --send' command . (Of course, as Tom said, clicking Favorites->Preferences->Web Data implicity gives that instance of chimera the focus, thus making it the most 'recent') --dan Thomas Goddard wrote:
Hi Sandeep,
If you have more than one Chimera running on a machine then "chimera --send" sends the file to the most recent one that is accepting connections. Each time you change the Favorites/Preferences/Web Data option to accept connections, that Chimera becomes the most recent.
The way this works is there is a list of running Chimera instances that are accepting connections in file (on unix /tmp/chim_webinfo-<username> where <username> is your login name). This file lists the Chimera process id and port number it is listening on. The last line indicates the most recent Chimera that is accepting connections. I wouldn't recommend relying on info in this file since the implementation may change in the future.
Tom
