managing processes and stacks started by executables

[lbtony]

suppose I have two stacks by clicking on two standalone executable files. I want to use one stack to manage the other. So my question is, how can I send message from one to the other in this situation? How can I stop the other application using script?

Thank u......

Which platform are you suing? If Mac, you could try AppleScript.

Otherwise you could socket communication between the two. Look at open socket, write to socket, etc.

Or you could use a text file. Control program puts commands in the
text file, program you want to control reads the text file at regular
intervals for new commands from the control program.

It's not the best way to do such a thing, but works if there's no other
way to communicate between the two programs.

Is there any scripting tool in Windows can let me send messages to runrev applications????

You could make the two standalones communicate with each other through sockets.

Best,
