Hmmm, looking at http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html, it refers me to
contrib/scriptname, but I don't see that attribute being used there.
[dan@xeon:~/htdig-install/htdig-3.1.5/contrib/scriptname] $ grep
"script_name" *
README:This is a small example to demonstrate the script_name
attribute.
README:script_name: /search/results.shtml
results.shtml: -- script_name example using SSI

I've been able to achieve a working wrapper without any &. I just don't
try to use them at all. I spent a few hours creating very nice little
scripts. I enjoyed it but finally discovered a more simple approach.
Folks: please use and thrash this search page for me:
http://diary.unixathome.org/htdig/results.php
I think I've completed the basics. I just need to tidy it up. I'd like to know
that it's functional before I start that process. The code is available at
http://diary.unixathome.org/htdig/results.php.txt and feedback is
solicited.
cheers
