Hi again, Anyone else than I that have tried to get this to work in Perl? I have tried with both open2() and open3() without geting out the "Please mount tape 1 on L:\\\\Backserv\\\\Backup.dmp and press Return to continue ..." message to <Reader> or <Err> handles through the process pipe,,, The last output I recieve before the script hangs is: e:\\Informix\\scripts>ontape -s -L 0 and after that nothing??? Or should I load the Expect module instead,,, /Christian
