Hi All: I am currently running a spider program derieved from an open source Search Engine program call SWISH-E, the spider.pl file that I am using uses the LWP::RobotUA class. Now, the way I have it set up is that I have a program that would prep the spider program with a list of sites to spider, the the program would call the spider using the backtick(``). From there on, the spider becomes a zombie program, outputing results to a local textfile for me to review later. The problem I'm running into is that it seems like the LWP class has a timeout function implemented that would sleep the process after a period of time with a message saying "Alarm clock." What is happening is that, since my process is a zombie, when it is put to sleep the system kills the process. Is there anyway around this situation? Is there a command or flag in LWP::RobotUA that I can set so it would not be put to sleep. Thanks in advance!
