I've found that if you run a LiveCode script with a shebang line as a cgi
script, the LiveCode Server process does not terminate (even with a quit
command).
I ran this simple script:
#!<full path to>/livecode-server
set the outputLineEndings to "lf"
put "Content-type: text/html" & crlf & crlf
put "<p>Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script</p>" & return
quit
It runs successfully from the command line:
$ ./livecode.cgi
Content-type: text/html
<p>Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script</p>
When I run the script as a CGI the LiveCode Server process does not end and has
to be cancelled.
I was using LiveCode Server 6.6.1 on OS X 10.9.4
If somebody can confirm this I will submit a bug report.
Regards
Peter
