I see the comments in the linked script about where it detaches from the terminal and will look at the script that I am using. I obviously have 3 options now - modify the script I am using, or use the 1 you referenced (and obviously all the implementation changes) or the other one that Scott is referencing (and obviously all the implementation changes). I'm not adverse to other implementation and I generally look at these things as the opportunity to learn. The stuff that I am looking at from projects.puremagic.com uses mysql as the datastore and since I had mysql running on it, wasn't hard to implement. So I will venture forth into perl - with teeth clenched, perhaps for the learning experience - thanks - and will keep you both posted on final/success or retreat to other script. Thanks Paul and Scott - you guys truly are gifted Craig
