OK - you have a perl script you will run in background on *nix and you want to pop up a message every now and then... Well... I tried a few things - like using system to start bash with a parameter if a script what outputs a message - and that didn't work. But I'm NOT a Linux/UNIX guru - maybe someone else can chip in. Some possibilities: * log it to a file; load the log in to a browser window - refresh to see messages. * start a simple server in an xterm and leave it running. In your main script, print to that server... the simple server then prints to its xterm, and you have your notification. * use sound - beep (or actually play a sound file) from you main script. That's it from me - good luck. Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
