I've looked at open, popen, system, and %x//, and various Process methods, but haven't figured it out. The program runs in a loop, calling a method to for command line parameters. I need a way to send a SIGTERM to the program so it will be run again. "Programming Ruby" references are welcome. Thanks. -- ljlane@debian.org
