Rick is right about rxqueue. But I wonder what you have against writing to a file? It works extremely well. And, unlike using rxqueue, you can capture the return code from whatever shell command you use. If you write a class to do the work, once you get the class written, it can be very easy to use. I use to think redirecting to a file would be too slow. But, after using that technique in a big application I saw that it wasn't slow at all. As long as you take care to always delete the temporary file you write to, it makes a very clean solution. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
