Thanks Petar, Unfortunately in this case email is not really an option and it needs to be completely web-based and available for anonymous users.
Perhaps I will have to go the Ajax route... Cheers Adam. -----Original Message----- From: Petar Tahchiev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 May 2008 13:23 To: Cactus Users List Subject: Re: Tests that take a long time to execute Hi Adam, the only thing that comes to my mind is that you can try to do that asynchronously. The user clicks on a button and then a message "Test execution started. Please see your email for the test results." is displayed. After the tests finish the execution an email(or any other notification) is sent.
