I'm looking at a doing a few MacOS-type tasks in Perl, rather than C. Specifically, does anyone have code or a FAQ file on testing how to see if a program is running? I guess pull up the process list, one entry at a time (I'm running a job many times, changing the configuration files, then running it again, but of course need to know when it has completed, before trying to start it again :-) Thanks, David --- David M.
