    As far as I understand, each time you run testrunner.bat it effectively runs as a separate independent instance. I do not believe that it will "detect" running instance and do anything different.

     

    One important thing to note is that you may hit a license limit. We run our Jenkins server with a named user license and we have to throttle our builds to max two concurrent. If you try to run a third concurrent build (a third testrunner instance) it fails with an exceeded license error.
