Note that the sequence of operations for starting (and stopping) a run is, to many respects, different in the two cases, so that one should always make sure what's the configuration he's running with before starting a run.
Typically Run Control should be launched at the beginning of the shift and, unless problems occur, multiple runs can be made without closing and re-open it. So there shouldn't be any reason for restart Run Control during the shift. Upon double click on the icon, the user is prompted with the Run Control main gui, which allow to perform all the operations required for standard data taking (and much more!).
