>>We have a VFP app running on a server that we need to be able to shut it down or start it remotely. We're looking for a way to do it from the browser. Our users are not into to login using PC Anywhere or Terminal Server for example. So, we need to have the ability to benefit of our existing administration panel from the Web in order to deliver this. Even if the application would be a service, we still need the need to manage its startup and shutdown from the Web. We also need the ability to show if the application is running. If yes, we need to have the ability to shut it down. Any suggestion?

When a app is selected to run(flagged in the table as run = .t.), the app is executed and the app marks its .starttime with datetime() .running with .t., registers itself with the . Checking in periodically (timer) to updates runcheck with datetime() and checks to see its run is .f. and needs to shut itself down) and then marks stoptime with datetime() and running with .f.

I'm reading this and it is not clear as to what I should do. Are you making reference to an existing program that I can call in Win2K?
