If it's a commandline utility like cmd.exe, you can use a dll like exec.dll to monitor the output and when it ends (sort of). If it's some GUI application that's a little more difficult. You can do this with COM, there's a script floating around that basically does what exec.dll does without the need of a DLL, but it's the same concept. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

Cos that should work for both, methinks... Code: alias Test { comeopen test $1 if $comerr echo -a The application could not be reached. else { echo -a The application was reached successfully. comclose test } } Something like this? I have no experience with this sort of things Good luck, ziv.
