And to add to what Jim and Phil have said, you can also use the cgi
engines to create your own shell commands. If you put a copy of the
appropriate cgi engine in a folder somewhere (I put it at the top
level of the disk ( "/revShell"), and set it's permissions
appropriately, you can then write cgi-type scripts that can read and
write files, make other shell calls, and so-on.
Since these cgi-type scripts are your own, you make calling them non-
blocking by using shell redirects, and then have them write files
that you can monitor, both for their status and their results,
leaving your main app free to handle the gui. It probably wouldn't be
too hard to use a shell command like ps to monitor CPU and memory
usage, and so have some sort of queuing system to prevent hogging the
server.
Best,
Mark
