Thanks for all the reply's
I think it might people to understand what I want, if they understand my long game in asking this question.
I have written a media backup program for my media system. it works great.
It is actually Two programs one is the backend, it runs invisibly in the back ground, the other is the front end, you open this up just to make changes to setting, or to check the log file, and a few other things. when you're done you close it down and the back end continues running in the back ground. As things work now you have to first open the backend then open the front end when you first fire the program up, or after a system shut down, or the like.
What I would like to do is have it so that when you fire up the frontend it will look to see if the backend is running and if its not, then it would start it, leaving the backend running after the frontend has been closed.
So I want to be able to start one completely separate program from with in another and leave it running after ending the first.
