Hello, I am developing a module, which runs a unix program. The progam works = fine from unix shell, or from Webmin if the process is short. After = about 20 minutes I notice that the process is still running, but is not = doing anything "idle" or frozen, and i must kill the process. If I = leave the computer overnight, I come back to " no more SWAP space" = errors, the computer locked and must restart. =20 I am using the following command "my = $results=3D`/usr/local/excute/fire`;"=20 what am i doing wrong? thanks, Diego |

Does this process produce a lot of output when you run it from the
shell prompt?

No, because webmin is still waiting for output from the
process as you are running it within backquotes. For a long-running
command, it may be better to put it in the background with
code like system("/usr/local/excute/fire >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null &");
assuming you don't want to get the output.

Jamie,
I am trying the following code:
system("/usr/local/excute/fire >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null &");
I will let know if it works, another thing...
How do I have a process print out what is going on in shell, onto a webmin
module (browser)?
Thanks,
Diego

Jamie,
exactly, the process does produce alot of output in
the shell. sometimes hours of output.
So I should use the following command?
system("/usr/local/excute/fire >/dev/null
2>&1 </dev/null &");

Yes, that is best , because if you use the backquote
operator in perl then all the output from your program
will be read into a variable which could potentially
get huge.
You could also display the output from the program
in the browser, with code like :
open(OUTOUT, "/usr/local/execute/fire 2>&1 |");
while(<OUTPUT>) {
print;
}
close(OUTPUT);
but that would also be a bad idea if lots of output
is generated.

hello, I have a "C" program that deletes a temp file under shell and user using telnet, but noticed that it does not delete the temp file when I run under webmin. I have all privledges, the temp is not deleted using a webmin module to execute the program. what can possibly be wrong? The program seems to fully finish, but the temp is not deleted. Thanks, Diego |
