some perl syntax notes > use strict; > my $mozilla = "/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla"; Its better to 'use vars' or define 'ours' variables rather then setting up "global lexical" variables in the main name space - just makes more sense. but its a common enough mistake and nobody will shoot you for it. > foreach $_ ( @ARGV ) The scalar default variable here is redundant - you can say foreach (@ARGV) or even for (@ARGV) for simplicity, or even better - define a lexically scoped variables for readability's sake foreach my $arg (@ARGV) And now that's out of the way - you will still launch a new mozilla process - you'd just skip the UI stuff if there's another one already running. actually: instead of running two processes, you will actually be calling mozilla twice everytime you run it instead of just once. assuming memory foot print is not an issue, is it worth it ? -- Oded ::..
