Name: Peter J Jones Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) --or-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.dancris.com/~p Preferred uid: PJONES Contribute Desc: Module, and later scripts and modules Module Desc: Proc::PIDFile bdpO Create a file with your PID in it. This is something that I find myself doing quite often. Checking to see if a PID file exists, and if the PID in it is still active. If not, then create the file and write my PID to it, otherwise return undef. I wrote this module for my personal use but have decided that I would like to share it with others. Thanks. -- ....................................................................... : Peter Jones : Unix System/Web Administrator : : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Direct Alliance Corporation : :...............................:.....................................:
