Cameron,
Have you tried issuing the command to `at`? If you don't need to
interact wih the report generator, and can pass all the parameters in
the command line or via a tmp file, this is a great solution.
at (and the corresponding atd) will preserve your environment vars and
other niceties.
>>how can I restart the root httpd server from within modperl?
Use `at` to schedule it a minute in the future -- effectively forking it.
Note that normally apache starts as root and runs as an unprivileged
user. If this is the case you _can_ achieve it using a suid wrapper or
sudo, but you'll r
I am looking for a mod_perl implementation of mod_auth_dbm that takes
