Hi Everybody, I need to write a Servlet (Apache, Unix) that will start an independent, non-Java, Unix process running and notify the client browser/session when the process finishes. This process will PROBABLY just take a few seconds to complete. Is Runtime.exec() the best method to start the process running? How would you notify the original client session when the process is complete? If having the process post its completed status to a file that is shared by a running servlet that periodically reads the file for the process status is the only possible approach, how would the servlet find and notify the original client session? Thanks in advance, Larry ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
