Hello N.Srinivasan,
GNUCash supports an argument where you can simply specify the desired
.gnucash file. I'm on windows, and I simply set up two GNUCash "icons",
each with a different .gnucash file as it's argument. The lock files are
distinct and I don't believe there is any risk to having them both open. I
do store the different files in different directories.
Is that what you are asking?
