Ucko, KB1CJC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Thanks, but this offers me little help with what I am actually trying to do. Nonetheless it did get me looking at the whole problem and I decided that using "popen()" is not the best way to start the desired process. Thus I am going to recode that part of the application using pipes redirection of file descriptors, forking and replacing the child with the desired process, reading it's output from stdout which will be redirected into a pipe. All in all this will give me better control of the whole thing, it will improve reliability and enable better control over passing data and signals between the 2 processes and eliminate some potential known bugs that are often associated with "popen()". Anyway's thanks for the help.
