Dear Programmers ,

C#

{
            Process curr = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
            Process[] procs = Process.GetProcessesByName(curr.ProcessName);
            foreach (Process p in procs)
            {
                if ((p.Id != curr.Id ) && (p.SessionId != curr.SessionId) &&
                    (p.MainModule.FileName == curr.MainModule.FileName))
                    return p;
            }
            return null;

Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but if you want to restrict only the current session, should the condition be

C#

...
if ((p.Id != curr.Id ) && (p.SessionId == curr.SessionId) &&
                    (p.MainModule.FileName == curr.MainModule.FileName))
...
