I found two ways, both of which are OS-specific. One is this perl: http://www.roth.net/perl/scripts/scripts.asp?ProcList.pl
Another is this command line tool: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/handle.shtml In a way I like the CLT better, it gives me less OS-specific code with the expense of an installation (of something that I think should come with windows) and an exec. But there has to be a better way - someone must have written a module or something that incapsulates the process list and potentially even the killing of a process. On a MicroSoft site there was something about doing this with vbscript, but I didn't even want to look at that. --- John West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am stuck on windows working with a process that > runs > as a service.
