in reply to Tk and IPC - killing of process not working in Linux

perl -le"$|=1; print and select(undef,undef,undef,0.1) for 1 .. 1000" ........^..........................................................^

    Yes, the secondary process is starting because I can see that the progressbar is filling slowly.

    What would be the right quoting for Linux? Single quotes?

      Very strange.

      Yes.

      I've now exhausted my limited knowledge of *nix. You'll need someone that uses it to solve your problem.
