system will wait until the executed shell-script has finished. I'd rather guess that you are not allowed to call the commandline programm you'd like to call.
Did you get any thing in the error_log? How do you call the system-command:
* system *`` * qx
Maybe you could show us the code you're using and we'll tell you whats wrong there.

Hello All,
I´m using mod_perl2 and Apache2 over Fedora Core 1.
I have a handler that need to call an external program to complete the request.
This program put its output to a file, and then I read this output from the handler (after system function) to complete the request.
My problem is (I assume) when I call system, it returns inmediatly and of course when I try to read the file output, it does not exist; becase it was created later.
How can I force to wait for a system function terminate the execution of an external program.
Thanks, Alejandro Galue.
