Hi, My cgi script needs to do some dirty work. User is supposed
to be notified via email when the job is done. Here is the use case a) user clicks
submit on a form to start the job b) An instant
message is thrown back to the user saying the job has started successfully and
user would be notified via email c) Later an
email notification arrives Script looks something like below 1. print ("Location: http://XYZ:9090/Project/filepath.html\n\n"); 2. close(STDOUT); 3. my $pid = fork; 4. $pid = 0 unless defined $pid; # be the kid if
fork failed 5. exit 0 if $pid; ## child... 6. close(STDOUT); ### LONG DIRTY JOB START 7. exec "la_results.pl $input{'dirPath'}
$checkboxString"; ### LONG DIRTY JOB OVER 8. mail.pl $loginId ## MAIL THE NOTIFICATION Issue is that the after submit of the page, the IE still
keeps loading the page until the long\dirty job is over. How can I make line 1 come up as an instant page. Thanks for your help Raj |
