I can imagine. I wasn't sure how I would write Perl code to join things via pid. I am sure it can be done (load into hash), but it wasn't trivial like grep. Peter, any problems with pid wrap-around? I am thinking we need to prepend a "wrap count" on the front of the pid output for 7.5. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
