I am using apache 1.3.6 . I am trying to execute from within a cgi-bin a job that will continue to execute in background. I know of a strange trick: system("myjob < /dev/null > out_file 2>&1 &"); it does the job under Linux, Win98 and WinMe, BUT it does not under Win2000. I have a feeling (not sure) that this thing worked long time ago. But I am constantly updating Win2000 using the Windows Update feature. Perhaps this procedure finally created a problem (?) Could someone please help ? Is there a way to start a program in bckgnd from within a cgi under Win2000 ? Thanks ! dr.
