in thread How do I run a background command via Net::SSH::W32Perl

Thanks for the ideas guys but none work so far. I did see a posting from someone that I needed to close STDERR/STDOUT/STDIN prior to running the script in order to run procs in the background. Could anyone tell me how to do that? (Not a Unix guy)

    Unfortuantely, the only doze box I have is on a DHCP connection and will not accept raw IP settings.

    Some things to check: setenv is a c-shell command. If your unix box is running sh or bash, use
    DISPLAY=xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz:0:0; xterm -c 'myprog.pl &'
    or something like that.
