Re^2: CGI and spawning a process with UI (Win32)

Hi shmem,

The cgi process (doing: system("perl ResetCCN.pl");) is running under the same logon account (and running the exact same code: ResetCCN.pl) as when ResetCCN.pl is run directly from a command-line window.

Can it be that a system/exec from a program initiated from a CGI-program (ie the IIS webserver) will pr. default start the process in the background? And how might that be tweaked to run the program with a proper UI ?

Allan

Sure? so the IIS Webserver is running under that account, and not under e.g. "Local System" ? --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

The authentication is set up for the webhome in question (the one hosting the perl.cgi program); Users coming in via Anon.Access are mapped to a Windows_User_Acct. which is identical to the one used to logon to the server and directly running the ResetCCN.pl pgm. (The webhome with the CGI tho' is in a directory under the IIS 'Default Web Site', for which the authentication of anon. access is set to the standard local IUSR acct. But that shouldn't affect the specific authentication of the CGI webhome (I guess...)). Is there a specific security right btw, (dis)/allowing spawning of UI? /Allan (will sleep on this now...)
