Thank you for the help! Yes, I will just have to do some more investigating if and when it happens again. In the meantime I may put in a feature request (or see if there is an existing one) for `system.util.endSession( [username], [project], [address], [clientId])` or something to that effect which could do the same thing as me going into the gateway and terminating a session myself. Edit: Looks like this can be done using existing functions: > [@Kick out the connected users from the vision client](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/kick-out-the-connected-users-from-the-vision-client/81239/3): > > If you want to have some kind of "management" screen, you can set up client message handlers that call system.util.exit, and then use [system.util.sendMessage](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.sendMessage) to broadcast a message to those other clients requesting that they close. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/solution-to-prevent-multiple-vision-instances-from-running-on-one-machine/80640)._
