The program is 'farmed' out and runs in the background without a gui or anything in order to not disturb or alert the user. (It's not a hacker tool. More of a config checker) Not alerting the user is a big ticket for this thing so, no pop-up windows or rebooting can be done. :(
Once it's done, I dont want it floating around on the computers so, it needs to delete itself. I have the "Farmer" program going back around and removing it now but, I wanted a more elegant solution instead of constantly checking if the tool has finished.. blah blah.
I tried the batch file method and back tic'd it to the shell but, always got a 'permission denied' due to the process locking the file.
Thanks

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
