Hi all,

I have an html page that when I press the submit button the cgi script
runs a shell script. I am having trouble because the html page hangs
until the shell script has finished, i.e. the shell script process is
not running in the background.  I have tried the following;

system "$my_shell_script &";
`$my_shell_script &`;
exec "$my_shell_script ";
exec "$my_shell_script  &";

none of which work!  The basis of my script is Formmail from Matt's
script archive (http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/) if anyone knows
it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Alex.
