Use Win32::Process:Info - here's some working code that I use in some production scripts, you can tailor it to do exactly what you want, but this should give you some ideas of the syntax. `use strict; use warnings; use Win32::Process::Info; Win32::Process::Info->Set (variant => 'WMI'); #Force to use WMI (quick +er) my $pi = Win32::Process::Info->new(); #Enumerate all the PIDs my $everest_process = undef; #For each PID, grab its name and look for everest processes for ( $pi->ListPids ) { my ($info) = $pi->GetProcInfo ($_); if ( $info->{Name} =~ /everest/gi ) { $everest_process = 1; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

A quick google found this. Program looks like it stores all current process data into a hash. Although it's for solaris it should still work for *nix systems. hope this helps	[reply]

my $cmd = `ps -hp $PID -o %c`; [download] But check the manual page of your systems ps. Different OSses have different psses using different command line switches. `Perl --((8:>*`	[reply] [d/l]

Looks like you might need Win32::Process::List then. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
