There are ways, i forget how, to detect if any program is running. Also to kill it. Code is in the archives. Detecting if the module is sitting there with a dos box and whining that you must press <enter> , i don't know. If you want to maintain if the spawned modules is running, it should either send a ping or respond to one periodically. Or be doing something else that can be detected by the main process externally. For my mirc-eu, i pinged with a number representing the time, pretty much like irc does anyhow. Kat
