Single instance with Arguments

[bhu]

I want to create a console app which will have only one instance running.
but here is the conditions.
Let us say i have this console app TEST

with arguments
TEST a (running)
TEST a ( should not run exit out)
TEST b (Should run)

the arugument should be part of the instance running test.
with out using Mutex,
any clue will be helpful.
thank you

Why not use a mutex?

You are actually better off to use a Mutex (or a lock file) to do this as
opposed to doing things such as listing processes because someone can rename
your process
