Embed a web server into the long-running bit. The use your browser at home to monitor or control the simulation. I haven't yet used it, but David Beazley's (of SWIG fame) SWILL project looks promising: http://swill.sourceforge.net/ Or you could use your favorite scripting language, which probably already has a library providing a simple web server. --Andre ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
