Hi
I'd like to execute a command on the server from a PERL script. This
particular command takes a long time to execute, so I would not like the
PERL script to wait for a response. I was under the impression that exec()
would do the trick, but it doesn't...it seems to work the same as system().
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
