    Hi techies,

    i am a newbie at apache. I have hosted a website that will launch a cgi script ( writen in python ) via submit. This cgi script will launch a batch file which need to run for maore than 1.5 hour, but it dies out around a minute

    I suppose the batch will be launched as a background process, and should not die out. Can anyone please help me on this

    Thanks.

    What do you see in the Apache error logs? The logs are stored at

    /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

    Also what exactly the process is that you want to run in the background? Check the server processes immediately after you run the file and see the usage.
