Hello Rajeev,
If you just want to hide the DOS console then you can use the following at the beginning of the script to hide it: use Win32::GUI; BEGIN {Win32::GUI::Hide(scalar(Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow()))}; OR If you want to run the script as a Windows service then see http://www.roth.net/perl/scripts/scripts.asp?DirMon.pl hope this helps...

But doing this it pops up a window. and if some user closes the window the script stops. Also the pop up window is bit annoying and it makes no sense for users. I wonder if there is any way we can run this as a service on win2k machine. As per my understanding this will not pop up a window. I would appriciate if some one the tell me how to run the perl script (or the batch file) as a service on win2k. regards Rajeev -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
