Thanks, Julien.
I'm sure that would work (assuming that
I am always looking for the string "orca") but it seems a bit
heavyweight to list all processes whenever anyone types an arrow key in
a table.
I was hoping that there would be a system
flag somewhere.
Joanie? Do you set/clear a flag somewhere
to say "there's an AT running"? Sort of like the Mac and Windows
examples I sent?
Thanks,
Carolyn

Hello Carolyn!
I've never done that in code myself, but you could do it the easy
way,
executing "ps -ax". ps relies onthe /proc filesystem, which is
present on all
Linux systems. There are some functions to use the information presented
through /proc. I believe it's part of glibc.
I hope this helps.
Warm regards
Julien
