Jim, interesting, though I'm not much closer to a solution with this,
it did prompt me to "think different" find another way to state the
question. In OSX we have "open process" but we can't do that for
Unix process on the same box except through shell..
Now on our Linux web server I use this CGI for sending mail from
remote rev Apps, where those apps have no mail services, but simple
POST a msg to the web server... Now, if I could just "translate" this
to work from inside a stack on OSX, we would have it. Or I might
just use this CGI as is and put this CGI on an internal web site on
our inhouse OSX Serve... but such a hack! I would rather be able to
do this directly from any box...

## This little CGI simply avoids the need to install an SMTP library

post
## string, parse that and let my server's send mail do the rest.
## the TO is hard coded, but obviously doesn't need to be.
## this saves a lot of headaches debugging email services in a rev
client app.
## and you can do other stuff with this if you want, log it, poke a
dbase etc.
on startup
if $REQUEST_METHOD is "POST" then
repeat until length(tDataIn) >= $CONTENT_LENGTH
read from stdin until empty
put it after tDataIn
end repeat
split tDataIn by "&" and "="
## the following is what I've been trying to emulate from the
"console" version of Rev

put "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" into mprocess
open process mprocess for write
write "From:" && (urlDecode (tDataIn["from"]))& cr to
process mprocess
write "To:" && "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" & cr to process mprocess
write "Subject:" && (urlDecode (tDataIn["subject"])) &
cr & cr to process mprocess
write (urlDecode (tDataIn["body"])) & cr to process mprocess
close process mprocess
put the result into tResponse
## in case this is being done from a web form then send back the
response to port 80
put "Content-Type: text/html" & cr
put "Content-Length:" && the length of tResponse & cr & cr
put tResponse
end if
end startup

Q: How long can my command be, really?
A: Calling do shell script creates a new sh process, and is therefore
subject to the system’s normal limits on passing data to new
processes: the
arguments (in this case, the text of your command plus about 40
bytes of
overhead) and any environment variables may not be larger than
kern.argmax,
which is currently 262,144 bytes. Because do shell script inherits its
parent’s environment (see the next question), the exact amount of
space
available for command text depends on the calling environment. In
practical
terms, this comes out to somewhat more than 261,000 bytes, but unusual
environment settings might reduce that substantially.
Note: This limit used to be smaller; in Mac OS X 10.2 it was about
65,000
bytes. The shell command sysctl kern.argmax will give you the
current limit
in bytes.

Q: I have started a background process; how do I get its process ID
so I can
control it with other shell commands?
A: You can use a feature of sh to do this: the special variable $!
is the ID
of the most recent background command, so you can echo it as the last
command in your shell script, like this:
do shell script "my_command &> /dev/null & echo $!"
-- result: 621
set pid to the result
do shell script "renice +20 -p " & pid
-- change my_command's scheduling priority.
do shell script "kill " & pid
-- my_command is terminated.
