Thanks everyone that replied with suggestions. We are running on win 2003 server.
I had an idea to check system(3001) which is the universe user1 performance monitor. I can change it using: ASSIGN 1 TO SYSTEM(3001) It shows up in the windows performance monitor, but: PRINT SYSTEM(3001) always returns 0. My thought was to make all application logons go through a simple check at logon and if the value was zero, to dispatch a phantom, increment the value and continue. thus providing a mechanism to launch a phantom process the first time someone logs in after a reboot. i.e.: VALUE = SYSTEM(3001) IF VALUE = 0 THEN EXECUTE "PHANTOM background.process...." END VALUE = VALUE + 1 ASSIGN VALUE TO SYSTEM(3001) I'm wondering why one can set the value "system(3001..3005) but there seems to be no way to interrogate the value. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
