I have a Windows application that needs to run 365/24/7.. the application requires a username and password.. is it possible to pass the username and pass to the application? if possible, I would like to launch the .exe from a perl script and monitor the PID. Any help is appreciated... Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
