I note an applications handle when I use the shell function to open it. I then use that handle to close the application later. However the user can also close that other application himself. Can that handle then be reused by windows so that when I use that handle I close a different process. If it is possible is it likely? ...

Hi I coded the below code and if no -l or -L option is passes to the script I need to assume (detect) whether a filename was passed as a param.

For the command: /usr/bin/sh -c "ls 1`" (a backquote after 1). How to make it run successfully? Adding a backslash before "`" does not work. ` is a special char as we know, and I tried surrounding it with single quote too (/usr/bin/sh -c "ls 1'`'"), but that doesn't work either. The error always are: % /usr/bin/sh -c "ls 1\`" Unmatc...
