Subject:	SCOUG-Help: killing one of several .cmd files

Peter,
Timing is the issue, I think. You should test it out by writing a little test Rexx script and having it write the PID information to an ASCII file, a different one, as follows:

1. Just before you start the first *.cmd program; that's your baseline PID's.
2. After you start your first *.cmd file and whenever the number of PID's increases by one

Start only one *.cmd file and see if it causes an increase by 1, only.

Okay, I understand now, thanks very much.

The Quercus Rexx library is $50. For $50 I'd rather run PSTAT /C and
parse the output to get the PID. I can still use your looping concept.
Legally it would be $100 because I'd need the Quercus library on two
different machines.

I'm a little worried about finding "the wrong PID" since these CMDs will
run at startup along with a bunch of other things. I would have to make
sure that none of the CMDs started any other CMDs; if they did, any PID
which I get might be the wrong one.

Thanks again, Harry.
