Mike,
"Looking in the file"? I don't know what you can do about it if you do look, as you can't know whether that PID is running.
In Perl I could do a open(PS_F, "ps -o pid,user,comm -u interch_user|"); loop over PS_F and ($pid, $user, $comm) = split; At least, that works on linux, I still have to see if it works on Sun.
Of course if you glue stuff together with shell commands, you can, but if you were going to do that then you just write a shell script to perform the startup / shutdown.
Bingo! Which sucks in a way as I would much rather find out why this is happening (although finding work arounds is enjoyable too). Since IC works great on Ubuntu and FreeBSD, I am going to assume that this is just a goofy Sun thing.
Live and learn. Thanks for all the feed back everyone. cbm _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
