Handling multiple perl scripts in windows command prompt

Question

Hi,

I have a lot of perl scripts that are on infinite loop running on my windows system. It is terribly inconvenient to have that many command prompts open not to mention the likelihood of closing them by mistake(strangely, they also seem to pause when I click on the prompt)

Is there someway I can handle this? Like maybe minimize this to the tray and maximize whenever necessary?

If it is of any use, I use activeperl

Answer 1

Install GNU Screen. You can get it for Windows as part of Cygwin. You can then have multiple command line shells running in a single window, and can detach that window to run in the background.

Answer 2

You can use Console2 utility, which is a Windows console window enhancement, it has a multiple tab feature.

Answer 3

Have you considered Win32::Daemon?
