I've already looked for several hours gathering access log data around the time of those errors. I'm writing some debug to my access logs every second so I have a very accurate timestamp around the sh errors. The only requests in the access logs near the time in question are perl CGIs requested via GET so I can request them myself in the exact same manner and they do not produce the 'sh' error. They work as expected. I'm beginning to suspect something internal to apache or an apache module that might be printing to STDERR and failing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
