Howdy. I have an application in windows that I am running with a PHP page using exec ("start...... I am wondering as to the efficiency of such a statement and how taxing it is on the server. If multiple people access a page with such a statement, what toll does it take on the server and is there a better way to manage calls to the server side executable? When this statement is called a command prompt window appears for the duration of the execution. I am guessing it would be possible to crash the server if thousands of these processes we created at around the same time....just anyone experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nathan
