I am working on a project and need the ability to start and stop a program that will be running 24/7, in case of problems. The company that did the 1st part of the project used start() and stop() to control their program, but mine is quite a bit different from theirs (plus I am still a beginner programmer). They have the executable set up on a Solaris 7 server with start and stop programs to control everything. I need to have something similiar for what I'm doing. I have been able to get start() to work, but not stop(). Any suggestions? Is there a better way to handle this? Thanks Robin Richardson
