If you know the PID, Perl has a kill() function: perldoc -f kill To find the PID is trickier. Some daemons write their pid to a file. For others, parsing the output of ps is probably the best way to go, but even that tends to be highly OS-specific. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
