Yes, you are. I'm not sure how to rename processes - but _if_ it kan be done, it means that somebody else could maybe do it, too - and in case of the same name is accidentially killed. So - stick with the PID- After all, it is not _so_ cumbersome to keep a reference to e.g. popen-objects. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
