Not a very clear question. If you need to check whether something completes then have the code write out a pidfile when it starts and unlink it on the way out. A second process can check for the pidfile at a later time; if the file is present then check for the process still running. If the process croaks before the unlink you will find a pidfile that contains a non-running process [leaving out the rather unlikely case that your pid's wrap]. e.g., #!/usr/bin/perl my $pidfile = $rundir . '/' . basename $0; open my $pidfh, '>', $pidfile or croak "$pidfile: $!"; print $pidfh "$$\n"; close $pidfh; # do things... unlink $pidfile or croak "unlink $pidfile: $!"; - __END__ A second process can then look for the pidfile (e.g., /var/run/blah.pid), open it and scream for help if the file is present and the pid doesn't refer to a running process. You are nearly always better off having the process that ran whatever the sql is checking for itself, however, since any external method runs into various logic races rather quickly. enjoi. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.
