Re: Does it go on running?

If your internet connection fails, the server doesn't know the connection is down until the server times out trying to send the response. The response is only sent once the CGI finished running, so the the your internet connection failing does not stop the CGI from running.

If you press the stop button, I don't know what happens.

If you read the OP's question, you'll see it pertains to the effect on the CGI script. What you posted says nothing about what happens to the CGI script. Does it get killed? Does it get sent a signal? If so, what's the default action of that signal? Does its STDOUT get closed?	[reply]
