kill will not kill the process. It send a signal to the process. The process decides whether to terminate or do something else. What you could do, is use signals and shared memory together. First write to a predetermined area in shared memory, then send a signal. On receipt of the signal, the program reads from the shm, and writes back. Like I said earlier, man perlipc. Note, though, shared memory can be insecure. -- "If it's not loud, it doesn't work!" -- Blank Reg, from "Max Headroom" _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
