lhunath 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 How do you mean, never stopped? The output is going to have to end somewhere if you ever want to be able to output it.If you mean like a script in the background that changes the database every so ofter or so, then that's something completely diffrent.Your script needs to give some sort of output, be it HTML, an Image, or whatever is of use in your web application, but I'm reconing you're not planning on uninteruptedly sending and sending output to your users that enter your page......

lhunath 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 Then you need to have a background process running. Log in with SSH and start the process, press Ctrl-Z, you'll see that the process is Stopped. Type "bg" to send it to the background and it'll continue in the background. Typing "fg" will bring it back to the foreground.I'm not sure whether background processes are allowed, though.
