If you're on an unix system, the individual records in &PH& are unix files. There's a unix command (fuser, I think) that will tell you if a process still has the file open or not. If the Phantom is still running, it'll still "own" the file and fuser will list the PID number of that process. If the Phantom is finished, it won't return a PID and you know the &PH& record can be deleted whenever you no longer need it.
I don't know if there's an equivalent way of doing this on a Windows-based system. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathleeni M Hunter Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 8:04 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] UV phantoms What about a phantom that run for more than three days -----Original Message----- From: Louie Bergsagel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 1:29 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] UV phantoms I've got a paragraph (UniVerse, Pick flavor) I run every night that copies all phantoms 3 days or older to a PH.BAK file, in case I want them later, a painless way to keep the &PH& file cleaned out.
