Hi, I have a script that uses a smtp to send a message and this is causing an overload of my server, because the execution time (that would be some milisecs) is delayed by about 5 secs. I thought I could solve this by forking the process, so the user would get a faster answer and the forked process would be more light than the 7MB of apache. Does anyone have any experience in forking processes under apache? I made some tests and it looked ok, but I'm not so sure that this won't cause problems in the future. Thanks. []s Luis
