In the Linux world, you would normally create an rc/init style script that is invoked at boot and shutdown (usually by calling 'start' and 'stop' on the script respectively). This can vary from across various distributions of Linux however and is normally something a package maintainer might do. I am not aware of any cross-platform way of performing what you're asking. cheers James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
