in reply to Leave it running

my webhost sucks....I have had to manually install all of my own perl modules in my own library (since I don't have root priveledge, thanks to perlmonks for showing me how). My system does not have a lot of stuff installed already. man screen does not work, this sucks, I hate my webhost. -Kevin

    You may have luck installing screen on your own, since it is available through this link.

      Try this, inside your perl script:

      $SIG{HUP} = 'IGNORE';

      Then try running it in the background (script.pl &).

      Or, to act like a real daemon process, read perlipc under the 'Complete Dissociation of Child from Parent' section.
