I am on digest, so apologies if this is a duplication of a suggestion made earlier. We tend to use plain old record locks for our phantom processes. The record won't list but if you try to edit it, it will come back as locked and prevents a second instance of the process from running.
Ex; * Set an exclusive record lock or exit if already running RECORDLOCKU F.FILENAME,"BACKGROUND.SERVICE" LOCKED * Send a message if necessary STOP END Also, for sleeping phantoms, I've found the LIST.PAUSED command helpful to at least see if they are there. It's not helpful at all for what they're running or where they're running.
