Just as I wondered at a Windows command prompt accepting a Unix-type option, I realized that the reason it was working on my box was that I had installed the Microsoft Windows Services for Unix. Am I presuming correctly that this is the case on your machine?

Which doesn't mean that it wouldn't be a good idea to install - but not a universal solution. -randy At 11:22 PM 4/26/2004, Douglas Kosovic wrote: >Hi Randy, > > > > Has anybody created a application (in Python or something else) that will > > 'cleanup' a Windows AG session, when, for whatever reason, there are > > pythonw, rat, ratmedia, ratui, and vic process left around?
