Emiel, Please reply to the list and format so all can benefit/follow along. I slightly rearranged so this makes sense on the list.

Ok, so my understanding is you want to run a utility to output process information to a file and then write a COBOL program to read in this file and analize it, looking for CPU information. Perhaps you want to pipe the information directly from the utility into the COBOL program. Either way you need a consistent format for analysis. Your use of the word monitor implies wrapping in a script so this processing reoccurs at regular intervals. >From the point-of-view of Windows, Cygwin processes are Windows processes so using a Windows/DOS utility will view all processes. Corinna's suggestion to use pslist from www.sysinternals.com is your utility to output process information. You can run DOS programs from Cygwin, so you can redirect the output to a file or a pipe, then run your COBOL program to do what it wants. All can be wrapped in a script using the language of your choice such as Perl, Bash, Sh,... Brett ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brett C.
