Hi there
Sure I am the newbiest of all Perl newbies in this group ....
Just have been reading some of the posts you all have sent since I subscribe to this list
What I'm trying to learn these days is how I run a Perl script in background on Windows. Can anybody give a hint on it?
Hi Jose,
As far as I know, the Windows cmd.exe environment doesn't let you
background a process the same way a unix shell does with '&'. However,
I have used "start" to achieve a similar effect when launching a script:
C:\> start /b perl script.pl
Type "start /?" at a cmd prompt to read about the "/B" switch. With
this switch, you'll still have the cmd.exe window open, but the prompt
will return immediately.
Also, I use this with Strawberry Perl; I don't know if ActiveState has
other tricks you can use.
Brian
Appreciate very much all the help you guys can provide me
Cheers
JM
