Thanks very much for your replies. 

I will look into the options in more detail and work on it.

I like the option of using a file or table and let only 
one instance of the program running. 

I might have said it wrong when I said that I want to run 
a CGI program in batch. It is just a perl program. 

I tried using the @ARGV and STDIN, but I was not 
successful in transfering the data. I was able to pass the 
file name, but not a variable with data or data itself. 
Can you give a sample code or how to use these to pass 
parameters (data or variable) to other program than the 
file names.  

Thanks very much for you help!
