|    Arexx noob needs help    |
|    08 Jan 18 20:03:31    |
   
   Hi All,   
      
   I'm trying to create a ARexx script that ever X number of minutes will execute   
   a shell script. I'm a total noob to ARexx programming but here are my efforts   
   so far:    
      
   * testscript för loop */   
   do forever   
   if ~show('L','rexxsupport.library') then   
   call addlib('rexxsupport.library',0,-30)   
   'execute s:hej.scr >Env:minoutput'   
   call delay(250)   
   end   
      
   s:hej.scr contains one line:    
      
   echo HELLO!   
      
   Now, I get no output from s:hej.scr. I tried to add GetEnv("minoutput") to the   
   ARexx script but that doesn't work. Also, I can't kill the ARexx script once   
   it's running, either by pressing ctrl-c or trying to close the shell window.    
      
   Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong here?    
      
   Thanks,   
      
   Joacim
