Actually today the program is only Windows and in time will be Windows, Linux and OSX (aka BSD). After posting I had a feeling that a daemon (Windows NT Service) would be the most likely approach. The only remaining question is: How best to let the daemon process know it is time to grab the task from Apache. In Windows there are named Event Object (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682655(VS.85).aspx) so the Apache Server can set the event and the daemon know it needs to get the new task from Apache. Does the Linux/BSD world have something like named Events? Sam
