hi -----Original Message----- From: Krist van Besien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 8:59 AM [deletions] I use <perl> sections quite intensively to configure my apache server. I would like to build in some user interaction during startup. The code works insofar that it waits 5 seconds and than proceeds with the default I set, but it completely ignores any keypresses I make.
it might be easier to just make these options part of the startup script instead of stopping httpd.conf in mid-parse [so to speak]. one [old school] way would be to write a shell script that sets the variaibles, then starts up apache. there are many other ways possible. -- \js
