I'm using spawn_proc_prog() to run external programs from apache, but can't find any docs on how to check the return status. It doesn't appear to set $?, nor have I found any reference to variables or methods that would provide that information.
Can anybody help me with this? The specific problem that I'm trying to solve has to do with executing CVS commands from within the context of Apache2. CVS returns both STDOUT and STDERR in response to, in this case, the rdiff command. It is sometimes possible to check the content of STDERR to determine the status of a command, but the STDERR is often valid output. I suppose that using the -q to suppress output of nice-to-have STDERR is an option too, but I'm looking for something more discrete. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
