I'm working on a script which I hope to run on a web server. The web server
belongs to someone else and I'm only renting the space. I have a cgi folder in
which I currently run a .cgi executable for a bulletin board.
What I am hoping to do is run a script continuously which checks for new e-
mail at a POP account every few minutes. I do not have telnet access to the
account.
Can you suggest a "workaround" which might be appropriate? Perhaps
setting the script with a .cgi extension and creating a web page with a
Submit button that will get the script started? What might happen if I start
the script once and someone clicks the Submit button again?
The server is running Zeus on RedHat Linux.
Thanks.
Ryan
