I read the cgiwrap list, there's no need to send to me personally. They work find with cgiwrap, it's something to do with your system or how you configured cgiwrap/etc. I routinely use backticks in cgiwrap run scripts without any problems. I don't have any good suggestions on what to try as I have never had this problem on any machine that I've tried it on. Running under cgiwrapd should give useful diagnostics if any error is happening. You can try outputting the contents of %ENV in each script as well. You might also try stracing the apache process and watching cgiwrap execute the script to see if some system call is failing when it tries to execute the date command. I'd bet you have some sort of memory limit or similar set that is preventing the fork, but without digging into it on your machine, I can't be sure. -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: nn...@um...
