in thread webserver independent script

Thx,
last sentece is good question. I look at Web techniques Column 20 - Merlyn using fork for two proceses to: 1) redirect to some URL and 2) run long time process (in this case it's search routine) so I think it should work. - so that webserver don't kill child process, hope.

Any suggestion?

    I had this problem in Web-FTP you need to fork and close STDOUT;

    at least, you need to close STDOUT if you want apache to tell the page the browser is done. I do a... 

    fork() && exit(0);
close STDOUT;

    [download]
    which allows the browser to go on its merry way.
