I have a script that I want to fork a child process that will start an application, e.g. notepad. Once notepad is closed I want the child process to send a signal to the parent. How would I do this in Windows? my $pid = fork(); defined ($pid) or die "Can't fork: $!"; if ($pid > 0){exit}; print "my PID is $$\n"; `notepad`; while (1) { socket_listening(); } James _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
