Hi all Sub Somebutton_Click
{ system("c:/path/to/perlserver.exe"); } I am trying to write a win32 gui script which will call a perl server ( any perl daemon process for that matter!) when a button is clicked now 1) How do I check whether the process is aleady not running? 2) If the process is running how to STOP it ? In unix we do a "ps -uax" etc and a "kill -9 PID" but in windows 98 what to do ?? chris
