perl cgi problem
Hi!
I use a perl cgi script to start a daemon via http-request:
---ttt.pl---
[...]
system("daemon &");
[...]
print " ... ";
---ttt.pl---
starting of the daemon works, but the http-request is never answered
completley (That means, the browser is waiting for more data forever...).
The cgi process is not finished, a 'ps -aecf' shows
www-data 12011 12010 -30 01:14 ?00:00:00 [ttt.pl]
Hmm, , what does that mean? How to start the daemon the right way?
Best regards
Henning

Re: [OT] open source distribution

But > simultaniously, you _must not_ distribute it under any other license. So, the big question is: What does distribute mean? For example: A system administrator writes a little handy perl script using some gpl'd perl libraries (as mentioned in the gpl-faq, this is linking, and therefore, the new tool can only be distributed under the gpl...). But the adiminstrator doesn't intend to distribute, he only install it on a machine used by many clients/users. One day, a nosy client find the tool useful and send it out to the internet... Hmmm, what now? In my opinion, the client does breach the copyright of administators work. The code was not ment for distribution and (therefore) it was not under the gpl. The client didn't have the right to make the script 'public'. But now it's to late. How to cope with this situation? It can't be revoked. As far as i know, to sell a (compiled) work (which is linked to gpl code) means distributing it. Therefore it must be under the gpl. Now back to the example: The administrator does not sell the code. He only grants users the right to use the _installed_ programm. Is that distribution (if he does not take a fee for using the programm)? What if he grants the right to use _that_single_installed_programm (!) only by a fee? Is that distribution? Please enlighten me!
