Re: [webmin-devel] adding a "please wait" popup while executing time consuming commands

[marty l. <mal...@gm...>]

Thanks -- its ui_print_unbuffered_header.

But after the page is displayed, I want to force a redirect to another page
-- how would I do it

Something like:
&ui_print_unbuffered_header('please wait');
system('date');
print "<BR>\n";
sleep(5);
system('date');
 print "<BR>first line\n<BR>";
sleep(5);
system('date');
print "<BR>second line\n<BR>";

footer();

# redirect('index.cgi');
