I need to rerun an external process every 5 minutes and destroy the old one. The only way I can think of doing that is by running the external process, not waiting for its output, obtaining the PID, and then sleeping for 5 minutes before killing the process. What might be the best way of doing either? -- Mike A. Leonetti As warm as green tea
