in reply to Using fork() with a CGI program

Perhaps my "watching long processes through CGI" will be a good starting point?

    Thanks Merlyn,
    It will take me some time to understand this.
    I ran said program and it produced output, but not in quite the way I was expecting. I expected it to print out 1/2 lines at a time as the traceroute returned information.
    Instead, the hour glass just hung around till all the output was received.
    I am not really concenrned with the output of the jobs I need to do. I am more interested in being able to pop-up a new window asking them to change some physical media when the first set of jobs is done
    Then I want to begin the process over again
    Thanks again for the help
