Re: Running Command on Windows XP

If you have 100+ machines, have you talked to the system administrator about what system they use to distribute jobs to the machines? I would use that.

They are using Telnet to install the same. But they keep on waiting till the app is over. While I want the app still to be running when telnet is closed.	[reply]

You will need to find out about how to disassociate from the `telnet` server on the other side. Maybe, if the telnet server gives you a `cmd.exe` command prompt, you can use the `start` command to launch a disassociated program. Alternatively, if the server gives you a unix-like shell, you might be able to send your program into the background by closing its input and output filehandles and double-forking. Proc::Background may or may not have a solution there.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
