Linux has this same problem it wont let you overwrite some binary files if they are in use but does allow them to be renamed so you could for example try this: rename(current_circle, old_circle); rename(new_circle, current_circle); exec(...); that may get around your problem plus it allows copyover to bring new changes in the source code online when it's executed. the old file will of course be allowed to be overwritten once the process is probably fully restarted. so you should have no problem overwriting it when doing the next copyover. I've been meaning to imp this myself but hadn't gotten around to it.
