Hi Ben,

well, of course you're right. The thing is, that I'm a trainee and I'm only working in this department of my company for 5 weeks...tomorrow will be the last day ;-)

At the beginning, I was told, that I should rewrite a korn shell script into something for Windows. I always wanted to learn Perl, so I thought, this might be a good chance.
From time to time, the professionals here asked me, if i could implement this and that in my script and I was glad of having chosen Perl, but meanwhile there is so much, my script shall do, that I also think it would have been better to edit the application.exe, but it's written in C++.

For this afternoon, I think I'll give the process creation with Win32::Process another try, but if it doesn't work, I don't mind too much. My script is starting application.exe very well, handles logfiles, links some server shares and monitors them...there's really only the problem with shutting it all down left.


Bye.
Thorsten
