in a unix-like machine you can do something like... @processlist = `ps -ef` and parse it out. If however you are taling windows... I have no idea.	[reply]

On Windows, you can also execute an external command that would return a list of processes. One nice utility would be BeyondLogic's process.exe, available from http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm Hope that helps, Dan Dascalescu	[reply]
