First of all thanks for replying. I'm actual raging about myself, because I'm refreshing this thread like every 2 minutes but I didn't saw the replies :/ @Anonymous Monk: I already thought about something like that but this would only be a last option for me because i don' t have to be afraid of a "fork bomb" (this system is only in our internal domain without any connection to the web), I'd more like to do this the "on event way" because polling got a few negative aspects I don't like. @scorpio17: I already wrote this thread. Doesn't matter if I use the Proc::Daemon Module or doing this with my own hands, my web-server still shows the same behavior, waiting for scripts end. $| = 1 or closing/redirecting standard input/output/error doesn't help either - same behavior. I'm not sure if I didn't understood everything in this article of Watching long processes through CGI, but I don't care about refreshing and watching things like that. I just need to click a button -> start cgi script which starts system commands WITHOUT waiting for the end -> saying browser "hey I finished" (while the system commands are still running. I'll give this article another try but I'd appreciate if you could tell me if I'm wrong with my view of the article as far as you understood more of it. Regards.
