[MacPerl] Running application

["David M. Dantowitz" <david@dantowitz.com>]

I had a similar question last week.

One way to do it is to write code that reads the process list and looks 
for the program in question. If it's in the list, it's still running.

There are examples of this in C in various places... I just don't have 
time to put it together (and in my case, I have the source to the program 
I'm waiting for, so I'll just have it create a special file when it 
completes... looking for that file will let me know when the program is 
done -- can you do this sort of thing with your problem?)

Best regards,

David
