For example system('/usr/bin/find / -name "core" > /dev/null 2>&1 &'); if you would like to take a look at output system('/usr/bin/find / -name "core" > /tmp/corefiles 2>&1 &'); 'find / -name "core"' should take some time, but system() will return immediately when you redirect stdout/stderr to files and put the command background. -- Yasuo Ohgaki _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
