I removed the '&', and the system call turns out finished running except with STDOUT disabled. The sub scripts may have the string '> /dev/null' appended in the system call which re-routed all output to /dev/null. I will try to experiment restoring STDOUT as suggested by the document. http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#STDIN__STDOUT_and_STDERR_streams - Clement
