From the description for [CPAN://Proc::Background], "This is a generic interface for placing processes in the background on both Unix and Win32 platforms. This module lets you start, kill, wait on, retrieve exit values, and <B>see if background processes still exist</B>."
<P> - - arden.
<P><B>update</B>: While you're there, [CPAN://Win32::Process::Info] has the <CODE> @info = $pi->GetProcInfo (); </CODE> method which should return a host of information on every process running (except the idle and system processes) including the executable path and name.
