just to make sure i'm on same page, if the program get_events.exe is not
running before, and shows up on the task mgr after the script runs via
cgi,
does that not indicate that it IS indeed executing the program?
if so, then doesn't the problem reduce to one of invoking the system
command with a NOWAIT.

I'd suggest using single quotes around the $get_events string or if you
need
variable interpolation of "machine1" then change the system call to
something
like:
@args = ("get_events.exe","--sensor machine1","--save
event.txt");
system(@args) == 0 or die "system @args failed: $?";
Just off the top of my head. I did not debug your code. The above code
is much
more reliable when executing system commands. You might also have to
fully
qualify the path to "get_events.exe" if it is not in the system path.

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?
