wapi won't work for sure in linux In linux, to have a really detached process I usually do a: at -f "/path/to/a/shell/script" now
In this way I'm sure stdout,stderr,stdin are "free" at returns immediately and the daemon atq runs the detached job. Another way is to use: nohup /path/to/a/shell/script & > /dev/null 2>&1 I never run it from Harbour... but for example from php or other applications. _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
