RE: problem running cli program from perl cgi script..

[Schiza, Apostolia (ISS Atlanta)]

Ok this is the code... it's only couple of lines calling the command line
program...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

        my $get_events = "get_events.exe --sensor machine1 --save
event.txt";
        system($get_events);
print "This is the system result $?";


When I run the script from command line the value I get from the system call
is 0, which means that get_events executed fine.
Nothing happens though when I run the script through cgi... it just hungs
there... on the task manager i see get_events.exe running... 

Thanks again!

Its hard to tell without some source code. What does $! say? Are you
checking the return status of the system call?
