Richard, thanks for the pointer on the shutdown command, nice to see them implement that in 2k3 and XP, I don't use them on a regular base and sure don't use them in server environment. As for the fork, windows can't preform a fork of a process. There are API's out there that can do this for windows such as perls Win32::Process, or using the MKS Toolkit, i think the developer or interopertablility versions will do this. If you have documents showing that windows can do a fork, I would like to read about it, however the last time I checked this was not possible, maybe they are trying to implement this, if so thats great, it will be a plus for them.
