I am able to connect to my process when passing in the process id which I obtained from processinfo.pl..(idea is to grab the new process id and pass it in and then use it to monitor process so it keeps running continuously or something.. ) process info code followed by my process.pl code which is just to connect and tell me exit code as I don't really know yet how to do anything with it. stuff below code is ignorable.

use Win32::Process::Info;
use Data::Dumper;
 $pi = Win32::Process::Info->new ();
 $pi->Set (elapsed_in_seconds => 0);    # In clunks, not seconds.
 @pids = $pi->ListPids ();      # Get all known PIDs
 @info = $pi->GetProcInfo ();   # Get the max
 %subs = $pi->Subprocesses ();  # Figure out subprocess relationships.
 @info = grep {$_->{Name} =~ m/vugen/}
    $pi->GetProcInfo ();        # All processes with 'perl' in name.
#print $info;
#print $pi;

my $href=\%subs;
print Dumper $href;
print Dumper @info;
#print Dumper @pids;

that sounds very much like what I want to do but how can I do it on a winblows system..(er I mean windows). I am looking at win32 process, but it's not clear how to export "still-active" I manage to get a bit over my head on this one,how do I explicitly export? so far I haven't gotten much, trying to figure out how to tell if still_active or setup a heartbeat or something. I can get it to launch but not to open my script.

use Win32::Process;
    use Win32;

    sub ErrorReport{
        print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
    }

    Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj,
                                "C:\\program files\\Mercury\\LoadRunne
+r\\bin\\vugen.exe",
                                "E:\\Mibor_timingtest\\Mibor\\mibor.us
+r",
                                0,
                                NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                                ".")|| die ErrorReport();

 Win32::Process::Open($Obj,$pid=11672,$iflags)|| die ErrorReport();


    $ProcessObj->Suspend();
    $ProcessObj->Resume();
    $ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE);

I am trying to figure this out has anyone used before? I get 259 as my exit code what does that mean?

use Win32::Process;
    use Win32;

    sub ErrorReport{
        print Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
    }

   
 Win32::Process::Open($Obj,$pid=11672,$iflags)|| die ErrorReport();
         print "connected to process $pid";

    #$ProcessObj->Suspend();
    #$ProcessObj->Resume();
    #$ProcessObj->Wait(INFINITE);
     
    $Obj->GetExitCode($exitcode);
    print $exitcode;
