I have a CGI script that forks a shell script S. This shell script starts some other process X and waits and does some cleanup. Everything works fine if the shell script is finished with 5 minutes or so. However after 5 minutes, the cgi script dies. Shell script S is still waiting around. When child X finishes, it seems that shell script dies without finishing up any cleanup. What is happening here. I have ported web server from Netscape to Apache and Netscape allowed Shell S to finish up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
