Hi all,

I have a python cgi script which looks like this:

[CODE STARTING HERE]
open('xxxxxxxxx')
print 'Content-Type: text/html\n\n'
......
print '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;url=%s">' % myURL
......
### after printing the webpage
os.system('python myfile.py')
logfile.write('END OF SCRIPT')
logfile.close()
[CODE ENDING]

Question: I want this cgi webpage to automatically redirect to myURL after 15 
seconds. 
As soon as the execution of this script finishes, the corresponding job 
disappears from 
ps command output, the webpage is displayed and the log file is written. 
However, the 
webpage doesn't redirect after 15 seconds unless the background child process 
'python myfile.py' finishes by then.

Is this problem caused by initialing the children job through os.system() ? 
Does any one 
know what I need to change to make the redirection work before background 
children processes finish?

Thank you very much!

Yingjie
