Hi You should use Proc::ProcessTable : `use Proc::ProcessTable; $t = new Proc::ProcessTable; foreach $p ( @{$t->table} ){ print "$p->pid -> $p->cmndline\n"; }` [download] HTH -- zejames	[reply] [d/l]

The CPAN module Proc::ProcessTable does all the parsing for you. Here is an example from the readme: `# kill memory pigs use Proc::ProcessTable; $t = new Proc::ProcessTable; foreach $p ( @{$t->table} ){ if( $p->pctmem > 95 ){ $p->kill(9); } }` [download] -Mark	[reply] [d/l]

/me always does `ps auxw \| perl -l -e '@ps = map { chomp; [ split/\s\s+/ ]; } <STDIN>; +shift @ps; print $_->[1],"\t",$_->[$#{$_}] foreach @ps;'` [download] for that (because it is a shell alias of mine ... ) But using a module there is just as usefull er formait hyarya. -- "Life is a house and the next tornado is never far away" -- "lovely by nature"	[reply] [d/l]
