Hi Mathgroup, Today I realised a strange behaviour of Mathematica. When I export a graphic to the JPEG or GIF format mathematica starts PNM.exe and JEPG.exe or GIF.exe. But Mathematica do not terminate these programms! So they will run until I use a ``kill -9 PID[PNM.exe] ...''. I think for a commercial programm like Mathematica it should be possible that the Kernel or FrontEnd terminates child processes after using them. Please help me to fix this problem if you know a answer, because these programms are eating my memory an drinking cpu time. Thanks, Andre -- +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | email: a.heinemann at ifw-dresden.de | Andre Heinemann | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------+
