If you do then there is a chance your program will hang forever. The correct solution is change the architecture. Instead of running the program directly and waiting for it to finish you should run the program in the background on the remote machine. Then the program on the local machine should sleep for a few seconds, check to see if the remote program is finished*, then sleep again, etc until the remote program is done. * how you go about doing this is system and program dependent. The easiest way is to have the program create a file when it is done. If you can't modify the remote program then wrap it with either shell or batch code as necessary. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
