    Using start command with system(); doesn't work

    Good call, I was using single speech marks. That wasn't the fix though. I've actually figured it out on my own. I forgot to chop my data string for $IPSCHEME in my code above. There was apparently a carriage return at the end of my code and that was causing the rest of the command string to...

    services.exe using 99% cpu = slowwww pc.

    I have recently discovered that this will occur if you were previously using Symantec's Norton Antivirus. If you uninstall Norton, forget to uninstall Symantec Live Update, and then load McAfee Anti-Virus 7.0 or 7.1 (I don't know if any other versions are affected) then your system will run at...

    Using start command with system(); doesn't work

    Well thanks for the effort duncdude. At least you got 1 of 2 items fixed! I appreciate the help. I attempted your print statement and it displayed the command syntax on my screen instead of running it. I'll just wait and see if any other Microsoft Windows Perl programmers can answer my...

    Here is the full script. I'd also like to know how to remove the "[" and "]" from the IP Address information all at the same time. Currently I've got it separated on two lines because I couldn't figure it out. system("cls"); print("Alpha Code: "); $CID=<stdin>; chop($CID); $CID=~tr/a-z/A-Z/...

    Using start command with system(); doesn't work

    Please help me. I'm trying to write a script that calls several external windows to pop-up and I'd like to be able to differentiate them by giving the title bars specific names. The command I'm trying to run creates the correct name in the title bar but doesn't execute the command. My code is...

    services.exe using 99% cpu = slowwww pc.

    This is an issue that I've been experiencing at the office. One of our field servers consistently runs at 100% due to Services.exe. The problem isn't necessarily with your service pack level though. (Unless you're now using SP4) The problem that Microsoft original reported in regards to this...
