in reply to How can I tell which perl scripts are running on NT?

Incidentally, using cron or the Windows equivalent "Scheduled Tasks" is usually a better way to go than a script that runs forever.

    I'm in full agreement.

    I wouldn't be running a forever loop. It's much more efficient to run a perl script in crontab or scheduled tasks than it is to run it as a daemon.

    Just my 2 cents.
