in reply to ``system'' leaking memory

I do not have rddtool, so I am trying

perl -e "for(;;){system('notepad')}"

but memory consumption is not growing at all. Could it be that your rddtool does not release all memory?

    Yes, I thought about leaking rdotool. Also I supposed rdotool would execute and exit not interfering with parent perl.exe

      You could emulate this by calling your tool from the same command prompt repeatedly and see whether that will create a similar effect.

      What happens when you try another program, like reg.exe /?
