Well, I'll try all suggestions until I find a solution that works. However, system("dyana >/dev/null 2>&1 &"); will not work I suspect - because this script is running on an NT box... so /dev/null doesn't exist.

Is there an NT equivalent?

 

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practise.  But in practise, there is.

    NT has the "nul" (yes, three characters) "device":

    echo "I can see ducks." > nul

    Dunno how much that helps... too early in the morning...

    As Zoogie points out, you can use "nul" (or even "/dev/nul"). In NT, you can use ">nul" and "2>&1", but you can't use "&".

    But you can do any of these: 

    system(1,"dyana >nul 2>&1");
system("start dyana");
# something with Win32::Process
