Create an init script with start and stop options, spawn your perl script as a background process and store the PID of this into a pidfile in /var/run. At the stop section kill the pid stored in the pidfile. You should be able to find some similar scripts in /etc/init.d. Then add it to the services and you're done. You should be able to issue the stop & start commands just like any service. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
