Hi,

I'm writing a short batch file that executes

* rasdial (to connect to my ISP)
* firefox (my browser)
* GTray (an app that monitors my GMail)

The script is simple and works fine, except that it never exits
because GTray never exits because t continues to run in the toolbar.
Basically, I'd like to invoke GTray as a background job so that the
script can exit. It seems that the AT command could do the job but it
requires absolute time arguements so it doesn't cut it.

Pointers?

Thanx,
Ed Stuart
