Don't know if it actually works, but how about POSIX::dup2()ing STDERR/STDIN (or better opening /dev/tty and use this one for reading and writing) to well known file descriptors (say 1000, 1001) when restart_count==0. Then when restart_count>0 you should be able to use them. Torsten -- Need professional mod_perl support? Just hire me: torsten.foert...@gmx.net
