Under Unix the recycling takes quite a while. It seems NT recycles quickly. Your script shouldn't be assuming that the PID is unique - it is only guaranteed to be 'not the same as other running processes', which is not the same thing. This is why commit scripts are usually combinations of loginfo and commitinfo - commitinfo happens after all the loginfo processing has completed. Tony
