I have a little problem figuring out something that solves the folowwing
problem:
1) 1 script that can run for many hours (days).
It will output regulary some information.
2) A browser that displays it.

The script could save its output to a file, which is repeatedly loaded
by a browser. Javascript can be used to refresh the page once in a
while.

Alternatively, you can make a Java applet which receives the data on a
socket.

Thanks David and Sjoerd,

I think storing the 'parts' (I want to spit out to HTML) in the database
with some time-index, which I poll from the client (using JS) is indeed a
good solution.
It gives me the flexibility to retrieve some pieces from the 'past' too in
the browser.
Easy actually, once you think of it. :-)

Thanks for your prompt responses!

Erwin Moller
